Sumario:This short article proposes rhetoric as a useful method and toolkit for teaching academic writing at university, especially in the humanities and social sciences. This approach seeks to overcome the inhibition or difficulty that students and researchers face when writing, so that writing becomes a more enjoyable and effective process. Rhetoric is valuable because it allows writing to be organised as a process of discernment, articulation and composition, which includes the operations of inventio, dispositio and elocutio. In addition, exercises on rhetorical figures raise awareness of the limits of language and sharpen precision in communication, doing justice to the complexity of human thought and experience. By reviving rhetoric, the aim is to make academic writing a desirable and precise practice, and to strengthen training in this fundamental skill for the production and transmission of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences.
