Resumen

This study aims to analyze the influence of Spanish in the English writing of students from the tenth grade “A”, at Miguel de Cervantes Institute in Managua. The study took place during the second semester of the year 2019, in the morning shift. Participants involved are 30 high school students and 1 teacher. The data collection instruments consisted of a teacher’s questionnaire, a class observation guide and written sample of students. Learners’ written texts were analyzed through a typical error category chart. The text analysis indicated that the major problems of learners, in terms of L1 influence over L2, were in relation to vocabulary, collocation (with verbs such as take and make), and false cognates (including verbs like spend and pass). There were also errors in areas of grammar, e.g., omission of the subject he, she and we, the article “a”, wrong verb in the use of “is” instead of the verb “has”, and wrong use of the preposition “in”. Finally, some recommendations were given to the teacher and students in order to reduce the influence of Spanish in the learning of English writing skill
