MATSOL 2016 Conference Online Program
Reimagining Narrative: Developing Voice for Academic Essays through Creative Writing
Abstract
Drawing from available research, the speakers will demonstrate that creative writing, an often undervalued genre, offers ESL students a place to negotiate their identities as writers and develop language authority, ultimately leading to stronger academic writing. Throughout the presentation, the speakers will offer practical classroom applications at varying proficiency levels.
