Una de las competencias más importantes en bachillerato es el desarrollo de las habilidades de escritura; por eso, es indispensable promover estrategias de aprendizaje gramatical de forma situada que doten a los estudiantes de conocimientos explícitos sobre la lengua para comunicar sus ideas eficazmente. Para ello, el texto literario es un recurso valioso que fortalece la competencia lingüística a través de la creación poética. Aquí se ofrece una propuesta didáctica, cuyo soporte es la estructura analógica; en ella se combinan las funciones poética y metalingüística de la lengua, por medio de la producción de greguerías, para analizar cuál es la función del verbo. De esta manera, al reconocer el tipo de sintagma verbal escrito, se confirma si la intención comunicativa ha sido expresada correctamente. Abstract This in an exploratory research about students’ attitudes towards English language learning and teaching creativity at the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo (UAEH). The participants were learners in the first and last English course, which is the sixth semester. The purpose was to find out what kind of tendencies the results exhibit as students advance in studies, and to what extent teachers’ creativity might have influenced the outcome. Data was collected from 297 students currently enrolled in the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades (ICSHU), using a questionnaire and focus group interviews. Results showed that attitudes to English language learning are extremely positive among basic level students, but negative feelings increase in the last course. Regarding creativity, it was found that teachers are too enclosed by the school policies that they do not perform at their fullest potential creativity.
