Abstract

This article aims at describing the theoretical foundation, the methodological procedures and the results obtained in two pedagogical experiences of teaching academic writing in two different university contexts: the Writing Group 1st Edition, developed in Brazil with five participants, and the Club de Graduandes with nine participants, formed in Argentina, as well as analyzing the reports of its participants that show attitudes (GARRET; COOUPLAND; WILLIAMS, 2003) towards the academic writing process. The theoretical framework is based on the concept of writing as a social and political process and practice (IVANIC, 2004) capable of driving personal and professional changes and, as methodological procedures, the use of a qualitative approach (CHIZZOTTI, 1998; SUASSUNA, 2008) and content analysis (BARDIN, 2006). The results indicate that the participation in these projects provided insertion in the scientific community, as writers, reviewers and referees in the first case and entry into a professional career in the second.
