Abstract
This report on a pedagogical experience aims to summarize the experience of a group freshmen from a private college enrolled in an elementary course of English as a foreign language -EFL and the development of the literacy competence through language understanding in the use of crucial grammatical categories as key parts in the construction of narrative tools and grammatical structures to approach the topic from a creative writing workshop. To address the pedagogical part a writing workshop was used with the principles of autonomy through the virtual classroom of the course, and at the level of the research record and follow-up, an adaptation of social cartography was developed to reflect on the process of creation of the narrative and its possible challenges when using the foreign language. Among the results obtained was a sample of 21 creative texts that were written in spaces of autonomous workshops.
