Introduction
According to wikipedia (May 2019), “Creative writing is any writing that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic, academic, or technical forms of literature, typically identified by an emphasis on narrative craft, character development, and the use of literary tropes or with various traditions of poetry and poetics.” But they also state that “Creative writing can technically be considered any writing of original composition. In this sense, creative writing is a more contemporary and process-oriented name for what has been traditionally called literature, including the variety of its genres.”
In general education
Creative writing can be used to teach various language skills, such as critical reading or grammar or more high-level skills sets such as creative thinking. It may be a way to engage less motivated students in language learning (Arshavskaya, 2015).
Kerr (2010) [1] distinguish between reflective writing typically used in education and literary creative writing. She argues that (literary) creative writing can improve (normal) reflective writing. “In health care educational settings where the goal is to promote self-reflection, critical thinking and growth, reflective and expressive writing are proven and invaluable methods. However, when the goal is to foster empathy by teaching narrative competence or to improve students’ observational abilities, the type of instruction offered in literary creative writing courses can help train students to be highly attentive to textual features.”
