Creative writing and how it can support second language learners

Abstract: The current study investigates what recent research tells us as to how creative writing can support language learning in English as a second language (ESL) classrooms at the primary and secondary levels. The results show that teachers must implement a variety of approaches when structuring creative writing lessons to help reach the knowledge requirements in the syllabus for English. Furthermore, the presented studies establish that creative writing is an excellent method to develop writing skills and encourage pupils to write. This investigation also shows that implementing creative writing into ESL classrooms helped develop vocabulary, grammar, and imagination. Finally, it appears that confident pupils are more likely to enjoy a creative writing class and advance faster in their language learning.
