Creative writing has shown itself to be a powerful tool for reflection and is increasingly being used in professional development contexts (see e.g. Bolton, 2001; Creme and Hunt, 2002; Winter et al., 1999). With its potential for playful self-exploration and access to feeling and emotion, it can quickly get beneath everyday identities, providing alternative ways of thinking about oneself.

The results of our recent survey of the membership of the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing, Associated Writing Programs, and the Council of Writing Program Administration indicate the relative health of undergraduate writing programs (major, concentration, or certificate programs, not service courses) in American four-year universities and colleges. During the past five years there has been a significant increase in the number of undergraduate writing programs, including technical and professional writing. But responses to our survey also suggest that while undergraduate technical and professional writing programs comprise the second largest group of programs (behind creative writing) they are not increasing as rapidly as a new kind of undergraduate writing program—a broad-based program that students can complete by taking a wide range of creative writing, composition, journalism, and technical and professional writing courses. The future seems unclear for traditional undergraduate technical and professional writing programs, and faculties need to examine their options in designing or redesigning their programs.

Zip Zap is a Creative Social Enterprise, which offers an author/illustrator- led Continuing Professional Development and Learning (CPDL) programme to develop teacher knowledge, confidence and skills in delivering creative writing and illustration activities, and a Festival of artist-led activities for school pupils. It is one of a number of initiatives that UK schools can buy into. This paper draws on an evaluation of Zip Zap’s CPDL programme and Festival across two UK sites, with two quite different creative learning contexts – Wales and England, to explore issues affecting the pedagogies at work in the space where teachers and creative practitioners elide. An analysis of findings from teacher/pupil/parent/creative practitioner interviews and observations of classroom teaching and CPDL sessions highlighted a number of key issues in relation to pedagogies of creative writing. These are: the teachers’ lack of confidence in creative writing pedagogies, a lack of shared approaches to teaching creative writing, and the potential for shared creative pedagogies. We propose a theoretical framework based on Homi K. Bhabha’s theory of the third space that offers a framework for professional learning that enables collaboration between teachers and creative practitioners, and the emergence of shared, creative pedagogies that would nurture pupils’ creative writing.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we argue that examining the writing processes of literary authors would enrich and extend empirical research on writing, which is currently grounded in cognitive psychology. In most empirical studies of writing skills, experts are defined as either advanced students or technical writers, neither of whom work within the same constraints or timeframes as literary authors. Including literary authors in psychological accounts of writing, by drawing on the observations of genetic criticism (a linguistic-literary discipline that reconstructs the genesis of an author’s manuscript by collecting and interpreting the notes, drafts, revisions, successive versions, etc.), would add to our knowledge of professional writing. Two issues could then be considered: (a) the way the creative process takes place during writing and (b) the role of memory in the management of writing processes over extended time periods.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Creative writing is not part of professional training in political science. Scholars in other fields, though, testify to the benefits of creative writing assignments, and my experiences teaching an undergraduate course on Politics and Literature suggest that there may be value in adding creative writing into certain political science courses. As with other forms of non-academic writing that political scientists identify as enriching, creative writing allows students to consider politics from multiple perspectives and expands their communicative powers. Working at the craft of storytelling—as opposed to abstract argumentation—can help students to think through key claims in contemporary political thought. Moreover, in this age of “alternative facts,” doing creative writing in a politics course may help students hone a critical skill of citizenship: thinking about the news in terms of narrative. In this essay, I consider the advantages and challenges of bringing creative writing into the study of politics.

This study examines the question of development of an important component of the foreign language communicative competence - the skill of writing as a structural element of the technical university students’ professional competence. The methods and ways of the stated aim achievement are analyzed from the perspective of the competence and personality-oriented approaches. Professional communication is presented as a multicomponent phenomenon, requiring detailed study. Foreign and domestic research in the field of foreign language teaching formed the theoretical basis for studying the methodical and didactic aspects of writing activities. The authors define students’ acquisition of writing skills in the process of education as the development of elementary communicative competence. Tasks for the writing skills development are described as a productive tool for organizing educational activities. The authors emphasize the special role of creative tasks and how they can contribute to achieving the set goals in teaching. Practical recommendations on the development of writing skills and this process monitoring are given.

Writing is often assumed as uneasy skill to either learn or teach. For students, they find it difficult to develop ideas in writing. On the other hand, teachers, many of them, only ready with the materials but confuse with the appropriate ways to teach. This paper intends to describe and discuss a method of teaching writing namely writing workshop to improve students’ writing skill through travel writing. Writing workshop proposed by Calkins that consists of mini lesson, work time, peer conferring and/or response groups, share sessions, and publication celebration is applied in writing class for methodological purposes. In mini lesson, teacher offers something to the class that is meant to introduce a writing strategy done at the beginning of the workshop. During work time point, students start their new piece of writing. Teacher moves among students conferring with them while checking their works. Peer conferences or response groups provide a forum for students to talk about works in progress. When students work in group, one of them could arrange his/ her group needs during the work time. A share session may be varied, one possible way is each group shares their process of writing to other students. At the end of writing class, student writers come together to publish and/ or celebrate their final work. The publication could be in the form of portfolio, students’ diary, blog, or others. Travel writing genre is chosen as it could develop students’ creativity in describing/ narrating their own stories during, let say holiday or things they used to see on the way home weekly or monthly. Furthermore, travel writing as the product of creative writing teaches the readers of values, characteristics, and way of life. Last but not least, a professional writing teacher should set the writing workshop components in variety ways to achieve effective running-class.

Abstract:
As creative writing research has shown, literary education in the context of teacher education at university greatly benefits from the collaborative practice of creative forms of literary expression for the development of creative literacies and imaginative agency. Accordingly, this study analyses the creative processes and outcomes of a bilingual songwriting workshop that was carried out in 2022 at the University of Strasbourg with 18 bilingual student teachers, in collaboration with the Franco-German world hip-hop artists Zweierpasch. This creative action research was guided by the following research questions: What are the pedagogical affordances of translingual creative writing for the acquisition of multiliteracies in bilingual education? What are the impacts of this creative writing workshop on the bilingual student teachers’ attitudes and beliefs towards creative pedagogical approaches in bilingual education? What are the effects of this workshop on the development of their linguistic, cultural, and professional identities?
This study presents a literary analysis of the poetic outcome of this creative action research, as well as an evaluation of the workshop in the form of a qualitative content analysis of the student teachers’ reflections and perspectives. Overall, the student teachers considered creative writing as a valuable pedagogical approach for multimodal literacy teaching and learning in bilingual education. Their discourses reveal the transformation process of their attitudes and beliefs towards creative pedagogical approaches, and the enrichment of their linguistic and cultural identity through multilingual creative writing.

The purpose of this work is to set the landscape for a study to be carried out in several stages addressing the question: Will creative writing techniques allow healthcare professionals to capture the emotional journeys they experience in a way that makes a significant difference to the effectiveness of such material as teaching and professional development aids?This paper addresses the basis for the study and the assumptions behind it, looking to map out parameters within which later studies can be carried out and a set of learning materials developed. The initial 2-year period has been used to test and enhance a staged workshop teaching model for Health Professional Studies students at levels 4, 5 and 6, using information from studies of creative writing teaching in healthcare plus work on writing techniques.The initial work suggests that creative writing techniques are better understood as a useful developmental tool when taught in the context of academic writing. The response from students has been positive. In this first stage, the work has been a qualitative, testing-the-waters approach from which to build a framework to launch a follow-on quantitative study.

Nurses' exposure to suffering reduces professional quality of life, negatively impacting patient outcomes, decreasing retention, and weakening the workforce. Tell Well is a creative writing workshop designed to address Professional Quality of Life. Through improvisation, text analysis, writing, and peer-critique, nine registered nurses built a writing practice that can be a self-care tool. A survey measured the extent to which participants integrated writing into their life and their perception of how their relationship with work changed. Tell Well honored nurses' experiences, provided a forum for them to express themselves and their experiences, and encouraged nurses to engage in self-care and discovery.

Creative writing is the most effective way of communicating ideas, thoughts, feelings and opinions. It enriches our vocabulary, develops imagination, and improves expressiveness, all of which help us achieve fluency in a foreign language. Apart from academic benefits, creative writing contributes to the development of one’s personal qualities such as confidence, self-respect, responsibility, and critical thinking skills, making us feel comfortable with our words on paper. Realizing the importance of creativity in both, professional and personal aspect, specialists try to adopt the most effective strategies in order to exploit their students’ creative potential, being convinced that it will open up tremendous career opportunities.

Today’s careers practitioners are tasked with offering assistance to a populace becoming increasingly culturally diverse, whilst facing ever growing professional insecurity. Uncertainty besets not just the seeker but also the helper. There is a need to develop creative practice to meet the needs of individuals but also to motivate practitioners to, tentatively, venture forward. This article will consider creative written practices referring to case studies and my own MA autoethnographical experience, offering both a reflective and reflexive account. Some feel unable to voice their thoughts and feelings. Writing their narrative could heighten self awareness and become a catalyst for career development. My intention is to encourage career professionals to consider possible creative writing processes to facilitate clients to tell their unique stories, but also as better assisting others to understand the changing nature of career.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: If and how various ways of expressing oneself creatively might help heal and resolve mental problems is a question that has been discussed for decades. Creative writing is typically used as an add-on to traditional therapy rather than being an integrated part of the therapy. There is a lack of research into the effect of implementing creative writing as an add-on to therapy for alcohol dependence. The aim of this study was to introduce creative writing to chronic alcohol-dependent clients. Method: A creative writing course was held as a pilot study with six workshops each lasting two hours. Six clients recruited from a harm reduction unit in a Danish alcohol treatment centre and suffering from chronic alcohol-use disorder participated in the workshops. The workshops were led by two professional authors experienced in teaching creative writing. At the end we conducted three interviews: one with the clients, one with the therapist and one with the authors. The interviews were analysed with a focus on the clients’ perspective. Findings: In the analysis, we found that writing can give the clients a lower self-esteem, make them fear failure, and it can be too private. We also found that writing can increase the clients’ self-confidence and unity in the group, give them new nuances of life, stimulate their brain, give zest for life, and improve relations between clients and care providers. Further, we identified a few points of importance to be added to the organization of the workshops. Conclusion: We found that clients suffering from alcohol-use disorder participating in creative writing profited from increased self-confidence, a sense of unity, were better able to appreciate the nuances of life, experienced stimulating brain activity, had more zest for life, and that the intervention improved relations between clients and care providers.

We explore our teaching of Biographical Explorations of Teaching and Learning, a Curriculum and Instruction Masters course in the Faculty of Education at Memorial University in which we develop creative and imaginative thinking and learning amongst educators. We invite students into a multi-modal exploration of their lives as teachers and learners via readings, visual art, drama, music, literary writing, and media pieces that explore themes in teaching and learning. Students think critically about how narratives work within personal/professional and societal cultural contexts. They learn about and engage in creative ways of telling a story. In this paper we critically reflect on the affordances and challenges of this approach to arts-informed critical graduate pedagogy.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for kidney failure but is associated with medical, psychological, and existential challenges for patients. Patients’ experiential knowledge can help other patients facing these challenges. Patients’ self-narratives and creative writings are ways to operationalize this experiential knowledge. Creative writing has been described as a therapeutic tool for patients with chronic disease. Over the past year, we conducted creative writing workshops with kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), living kidney donors (LKDs), kidney transplant candidates (KTCs), and professional writers. During these workshops, patients were invited to explore different aspects of their experiences of their transplant or donation journey through narrative-writing, poetry, comic art, and screenwriting. Objective: The objectives of this study were to gather the perspectives of KTRs, KTCs, and LKDs on the role of patients’ self-narratives and creative writing, and to collect patients’ experiences of the creative writing workshops. Design: Focus groups and individual interviews. Setting: The Center hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM) kidney transplant program. Participants: KTRs, LKDs, and KTCs attending the CHUM kidney transplant clinic between February 2020 and January 2021. Methods: We conducted 2 focus groups and 8 semi-structured individual interviews with 7 KTRs, 8 LKDs, and 5 KTCs from the CHUM between June and November 2020, before the creative writing workshops. We also conducted 10 semi-structured interviews with 5 KTRs, 1 KTC, and 4 LKDs in March 2021, after their participation in the creative writing workshops. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. Thematic and content analyses were conducted. Results: KTRs, LKDs, and KTCs had multiple significant moments to share from their transplant/donation journey. These moments were highly emotional and marked by uncertainty. The creative writing workshops were described as therapeutic by participants, because they offered a safe space for group-facilitated reflection, including a discovery and learning process, and normalization, relativization, and appreciation of the transplant/donation experience. The creative writing workshops also provided an opportunity to give back to others (helping other patients, promoting kidney donation and continuing this process in the future through the web platform). Limitations: Our participants came from a single French-speaking urban transplant center in Quebec and were highly educated. Conclusion: The study set out to capture the perspectives of KTRs, LKDs, and KTCs through the sharing of self-narratives and their participation in creative writing workshops related to their transplant or donation journey. A website was set up to publish patients’ creative writings ( https://recitsdudonetdelavie.lorganon.ca/les-recits/ ). Further study is needed to assess the website’s impact on other patients. Trial registration: Not registered.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines current transformations of the writing profession in France. Based on qualitative research (interviews with writers and their representatives, as well as organisers of literary events) and on a national survey conducted in 2016 by the Centre national du livre, it emphasises the tension between symbolic and professional recognition at different moments of a writer’s ‘career’. In a country where literary agents are only now starting to organise, and where creative writing courses are not as well established as elsewhere, publishers still play the key role of ‘gatekeepers’ into the literary field. The relationship with the publisher is thus crucial and is based on elective affinities. Yet, once published, an author still needs to be distinguished and recognised. Apart from the traditional literary prizes, which give symbolic and professional recognition, literary events (festivals, public readings) and residencies offer new career opportunities. These related activities, or ‘activités connexes’ have significantly increased in number: the article focuses especially on analysing how they now fit into and structure the literary careers of authors, as well as how authors themselves perceive them.

Teachers as professional educators should have some competencies, such as pedagogical competence, personal competence, social competence, and professional competence. The focus of this workshop is on the professional competence which its definition is the teacher's ability in mastering broad and in-depth subject matter that allows guiding students to meet the competency standards set in the National Education Standards. There are many activities that can support or enhance the professional competence of teachers, such as writing. By writing, teachers have the opportunity to develop themselves in order to become more creative, active, innovative and professional teachers. The module of X applications usage for vocational teachers can be used to support teacher activities in writing scientific papers. This module will be useful to facilitate the writing of citations in a scientific work. Using the Mendeley application in this workshop, make the teacher to be more insightful which support their research activity, also can improve their motivation to know how the important thing of research in their field. Therefore, this service activity want to give the teacher a knowledge of tips and tricks to facilitate journal writing. There are tools that can be used to make citations in the bibliography, such as the reference feature, Endnote, or Mendeley.

This article considers the experience of writing a daily journal, published daily via a public social media site. The journal began on 31 March 2020 as an attempt to account for the suddenly changed experiences of my personal and professional life (as an artist and lecturer) in the early days of the first UK coronavirus lockdown; it is still ongoing. After producing 700,000 words, this project has come to be understood as having shifted my writing in creative practice to writing as a practice for creating life. An expansive readerly engagement with a variety of creative and critical diarists provides generative perspectives for rethinking life and work. This latter part of the article’s structure considers the ‘Sheffield in virus time’ project in relation to poet Kumiko Hahn’s characterization of the zuihitsu as a fungal form. This Japanese genre (translated as ‘following the will of the pen’) develops casual, loosely connected fragments and ideas, often in haphazard order, a form well-suited to the ongoingness of writing life.

This illustrated article offers a record of work done for a third-year undergraduate module called Creative Writing and the Self, as part of the Creative and Professional Writing programme at the University of the West of England, Bristol, in the autumn term of 2021, where students created zines as a record of their student experiences, which corresponded to the years of the pandemic. The article considers the students’ creative process and what is communicated in the zines, pages from which illustrate the article, informed by the methodology of Lynda Barry. The module offered the opportunity for staff and students to use a more open-ended rhetoric than elsewhere on their course(s), and the article considers this alongside the pedagogical implications of a hybrid and multimodal form and approach, of telling stories using text and images, inviting acknowledgement and observation, rather than judgement.

This paper is devoted to the problem of using creative technologies for teaching a foreign language to prospective teachers, which is relevant in accordance with the standards of higher professional education. The role of creative thinking in the development of foreign language communicative competence is indicated. The question of the development of linguistic creativity in teaching a foreign language is touched upon. The definitions of pedagogical technologies, creative pedagogical technologies and creative technologies of teaching a foreign language are considered. The main characteristics are highlighted and the classification of creative technologies of teaching a foreign language is presented. Technologies for the development of linguistic creativity of students are presented. Attention is focused on the technologies of creative writing as a means of developing linguistic creativity. Examples of the use of language and group creative games as methods of creative writing for teaching a foreign language (German) to students are given. The technologies of heuristic teaching of a foreign language are also presented, on the basis of which students creative thinking points are considered: heuristic methods of cognition of an object, identification of its main features and heuristic methods of transformation of object features and creation of a new object. Each group of heuristic methods is illustrated by examples of use in German language classes at a university.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe article deals with the problem of conceptual aspects of professional training for English language teachers in the UK. It is found that many curricula of British universities are based on the technology and procedure of exclusively professional training of future specialists, whereas general scientific and additional intellectual training is incorporated into extracurricular activities as proved by the ratio of study time allocated to different courses. Humanities and social sciences courses provide students with fundamental knowledge and the ability to navigate in the ever-growing volume of scientific knowledge, possibility and knowledge of social interaction. General professional and specialist courses cultivate professional mastery of future specialists and the ability to express, if necessary, professional mobility. It is clarified that English is a broad subject, which comprises three complementary elements studied either separately or combined. They are the following: English Literature (interpretation and analysis of literary texts and study of the history and theory of literature), English Language (the study of spoken, written and multimodal communication, their historical development and their distinctive levels of analysis: phonology, grammar and lexis) and creative writing (the practice of writing, the study of the literary and cultural contexts of writing and the exploration of the relationships that writing generates between writer, publisher, text and audience). It is concluded that professional training of English language teachers in the UK is based on conceptual aspects of such principles as neobehaviourism, liberalism, progressivism, social reconstructivism, cognitivism and humanism.

Full textAbstract:
On Writing and Handwriting Writing is often considered secondary to the spoken language, as it is only coded sound-by-sound. But other scholars have demonstrated that writing is similar to ‘arithmetic’: a cognitive structuring, a shift to the meta-level (‘for the eye’). Handwriting (referred to here as the cursive writing in the sense of joined up handwriting, of ‘écriture liée’) differs from writing (in the first analysis): it has its own grammar composed of paradigmatic gestemes and tracemes and its own syntagmatic rules that connect them. In emotional terms, handwriting is designed to provide a special pleasure by its own drive (instinct, ‘Trieb’). But there is also cognitive aspect to it: the rapidity and fluidity of a cursive writing could be (in professional writing, for instance) more important (at the climax of the creative process) than it being legible for all eternity. The project of the new handwriting reform for Czech schools, abolishing the liaison between letters, is shown to be a modern and technically simplified form of calligraphy.

Full textAbstract:
Daniel Defoe, one of the pioneers of the English novel, primarily earned his living as a journalist, pamphleteer, proposal writer, and freelance business consultant. A born entrepreneur, Defoe's many projects included promoting and marketing the first practical diving bell, designing commercial fisheries and improving London's sewer system, producing a series of popular self-help manuals, and founding and editing the first English technical writing journal, The Projector. These were the products of Defoe's indefatigable pen, and the utilitarian simplicity of his business and technical writing has strongly influenced English prose ever since. This article will examine two major pieces of Defoe's professional writing: An Essay of Projects, (1698) a portfolio of his best proposals, and the landmark The Complete English Tradesman (1725), the first English business writing manual. These and similar texts would form the loam of Defoe's great novels, Robinson Crusoe (1719), Moll Flanders (1721), and A Journal of a Plague Year (1722). While Defoe's professional writing shaped his creative writing, his gifts as a novelist—his plain, demotic style, his knack for concise narrative and analytical summary, his ability to create convincing personas through textual documentation—shaped his business writing. Both forms of writing made him the premier spokesperson of a new social and economic order.

The field of creative writing is very diverse for professional practice. There has been a drastic digital acceleration that has forced the customers' behavior to adjust dynamically. The usage of digital platform services for film and the market demands in creative writing, especially screenplays, indicate a growing trend. For Laskara Creative, a fledgling company in the creative writing industry, this growth gives pertinent business-to-business opportunities. Analyzing the business ecosystem in the creative industry gives Laskara Creative insight on how to construct business-to-business opportunities that has the potential to be profitable and have a positive impact on the society. The process begins with an analysis of the company’s and industry’s ecosystem, both internally and externally, utilizing several tools and theories drawn from the literature study, including Porter’s Diamond, Porter’s Five Forces, and Resource Based View Analysis. Utilizing the Market Opportunity Analysis (MOA), the comprehensive external and internal analyses were combined. According to the Market Opportunity Analysis, the company is now in a good position but may face many difficulties if it is unable to convert its own resources, creativity, and connections into possibilities. The company’s existing business process and ecosystem are still far from ideal, which should create value for the common set of customers by creating a virtuous cycle supported by the intersectional relationship. To create an ideal business-to-business opportunity through cross-sectional collaboration consisting of shared IP, creative supply chains, and technology, that includes academia, government, business, and civil society, a Variable Quadruple Helix approach is advised. The process of formulating the opportunities is supported by Ardichvili's theories of Business Opportunity and Value Creation Capabilities.

Creative writing is a teaching strategy employed increasingly less frequently as students progress through their secondary education. From my own school experience and observing other teachers, many such tasks are set in Year 7 but then later give way to the pressure of preparing students for exams. In the first Professional Placement of my postgraduate teacher training, I observed a Classical Civilisation teacher set her sixth form students to write a poem about Hector or Andromache from the Iliad Book 6. Although there was some initial reluctance, students largely engaged with the task and we were both impressed by the results. This prompted me to carry out my own research project to explore further the potential impact of creative writing, following the argument that one way into a text is to understand the characters within it.

This scientific work is devoted to the attempt to substantiate comprehensively the expediency of using the method of writing essays on socio-pedagogical topics in the process of teacher’s professional training. Proceeding from the interpretation of the essence of the method, its functional purpose in philosophical, linguistic, and literary literature, we determined adaptive foundations of the method regarding the features of the effective use of the method of essay writing in the educational process and pedagogy as a discipline. Specific examples demonstrate the priorities of the essay writing method in the development of social competence in particular and the social reflection of the future teacher in general. We stressed the great importance of the functions of self-education, self-worth student's activity, the development of creative reflexive thinking, and the ability to make effective decisions on an actual problem that has both professional and social significance.Within the framework of the research that had been made, the methodical applicability of the essay was determined. Thus, the methodical applicability of essay provides the transformation of the goal into the plan: the development of a training method based on a specific plan (personally oriented goal), which gives the opportunity to focus on the aspects of the problem that is of special significance for the student. in the process of professional development. The methodical applicability of essay writing gives an opportunity to work out the technique of writing creative work, directing it to a concrete expected result of a current student’s problem. It optimizes the method of work with the theoretical material with a further formation of theoretical constructs, on the basis of which the work on its implementation into a practical plane on a personally oriented basis is developed. The methodical applicability of essay increases the level of efficiency of the methodology of algorithmic thinking activity in the situation of a theoretical and practical study of the problem, and self-determination in its context. Besides, the functions of self-educational, self-assessing student activity are enhanced, which manifests itself in the ability to make effective decisions on an actual problem that has both professional and social significance.

As prospective teachers, the students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program must have sufficient literary skills and experience of writing literature works. The facts are, however, very different. To date, most students face varied kinds of obstacles to writing literature works. Writing literature works require lofty creativity and imagination to produce the Dulce Et Utile (radiating the beam of the aesthetic and educational values of the works). The purpose of this study was, therefore, to describe the factors that become the students’ major obstacles to writing literature works. The method used was the qualitative descriptive whilst the observation, interview, and document analyses were the techniques of data collections. The 21 subjects of this study were the sixth-semester students of undergraduate Indonesian Language and Literature major at the Islamic University of Riau (UIR). The results of this study indicated that the factors that become the students’ crucial obstacles to learning Writing Literature Works were the lecturers’ unprofessionalism (centered-staged with different discipline/area of study of lecturers), lack of respect to the Writing Literature Works’ course; limited number of credit course, continue transmitting theoretical knowledge rather than keep practicing/writing the works, and the inappropriate teaching/learning model used in the Writing Literature Works’ course. As a result, these factors is a form of the implementation of learning writing literature works is still a formality and certainly prevent the students of being professional teachers.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental, cultural, and social issues are becoming increasingly complex, and the educational context is no exception to this trend. The relevance of teachers’ creativity in examining situations from different angles, in imagining new approaches, in adapting to the varied needs of students, and in training them so that they too can grasp the teeming complexity seems obvious. However, creativity sometimes seems to be taken for granted among teachers and educational programs leave a gap around this theme. Since the scientific literature tends to show that teachers’ creativity is still little explored in educational contexts, this doctoral research studies its manifestations within a group of teachers enrolled in a professional master’s program in preschool and elementary education (Université de Sherbrooke, Canada). Within the framework of this program, each one elaborates a professional development project over a three-year period. Using a variety of authentic data sources (observations in natural occurring situations, reflective writing by participants, and semi-structured interviews), their creative process is documented and analyzed. This multiple-case study (n = 9) that draws on the concept of creativity as related to that of professional coherence reveals that the pursuit of greater professional coherence not only enables the implementation of creative skills to foster teachers’ professional development, but also elicits beautiful risk-taking.

This article aims to identify if writing personal narratives in one’s first and second language help in expressing feelings, conveying thoughts, and gaining confidence in writing. This study reflects a meaningful literacy approach focused on the individual language learner at the center of the learning process to facilitate writing development. Data came from current and former English majors who have taken creative writing courses. Participants were from private and public universities and a professional group on Facebook (N = 34). Data were collected through an online survey. Research questions were tested with statistical measures of correlations. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics were used to check whether the data were normally distributed. Then, the Spearman rho test was used to check for correlations and covariance because the data were not normally distributed. Results revealed a correlation between expressing feelings, conveying thoughts, and gaining confidence when writing personal narratives in one’s first and second language. The findings can be applied in writing classrooms by integrating writing personal narratives to help students express feelings, convey thoughts, and gain confidence in writing. It is important for educators to understand how personal narrative writing supports students’ learning process in writing classes and beyond.

This article explores those changes, especially as they evolved in urban musical culture in the Low Countries in 1450-1500. Attention is given to oral traditions of popular and professional polyphony, the status of writing in musical instruction and practice, the emergence of a perceived opposition between "composition" and "improvisation," the technical and conceptual ramifications of that perception, the relative social and professional status implied in designations such as "singer," "composer," "musicus," and "tenorist," and, finally, the new understanding and valuation of musical authorship, around 1500, involving notions of personal style, artistic freedom, authorial intention, creative property, historical awareness, and professional organization, protection, and secrecy.

The Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification (ANZSRC) 2020 decision on disciplinary categories has profound implications for journalism as a research discipline. Journalism Practice and Professional Writing retain their six-digit Fields of Research (FoR) code within the Creative Arts and Writing Division, a new six-digit FoR of Journalism Studies has been created in the Division of Language, Communication and Culture, and three new FoR codes of Literature, Journalism and Professional Writing have been created for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Māori and Pacific Peoples within the new Indigenous Studies Division. This categorisation both confirms Journalism as a sovereign and independent discipline distinct from Communication and Media Studies, which has been in bitter contention for more than two decades. The ANZSRC confirmed its 2008 policy that the sole and definitive criterion for categorisation was methodology. This article explores the welcome ramifications of this decision for Journalism within Australasian university-based journalism and charts some of the issues ahead for journalism academics as they embark on the long overdue and fraught path to disciplinary self-recognition as an equal among the humanities and social sciences.

Using a model of action research, with a qualitative methodology, the process is described and the final results are analysed. Participant observation, final products and the students’ perception are taken into account. As a result, the students made 40 recreations of children’s and young adult literature (CYAL) texts, created with different techniques. The students appreciated the task, highlighting its practical character, the relation with their professional future, together with creativity, enjoyment and the learning reached. The task conformed to students’ interests, fostered their motivation, promoted an active learners’ role, promoted an approach to CYAL, involved the application of knowledge acquired during the course and favoured the development of competences essential for teachers. To conclude, it is clear that creative writing are appropriate practices for teacher training, especially in the context of literary education.

Specifically, I was interested in which activities participants (a) found most relevant and applicable to their current teaching situation, (b) believed would most benefit student learning, and (c) believed would contribute most to their overall music teacher development. Multiple forms of data were collected including participants’ reflections, researcher-facilitator journal and field notes, and structured individual interviews. Curriculum development and rubric writing were relevant to participants’ teaching situations and also engaged teachers’ personal musicianship. Participants recognized creative activities as motivating for students. Collaboration emerged as the course feature that contributed most to participants’ overall development. Those who plan and facilitate professional development might consider including aspects that invite collaboration, deep thinking, engagement, and reflection, particularly within the context of teachers’ musicianship.

Abstract The achievements of media education in higher education of Germany have been highlighted. The notions of media education that exist in scientific literature have been outlined. Media education has been defined as a direction in pedagogy (media pedagogy) aimed at an individual’s media-culture formation in society, as well as a process of development and self-development by means of media materials and mass media. The main goal of media education is to enhance general, professional, communicative and creative competences. The main national programs of media education implementation into educational process of Ukraine and Germany are the following: “New Media in Education”, “Media-pedagogical manifest”, “Concept of Introduction of Media Education in Ukraine”. The process of media pedagogy implementation in future native language teachers’ professional training in Germany is developing in three directions: integrated, special and optional. In particular, the attention has been focused on using methods of media education in higher philological schools (methods of creative writing - creative linguistic project of German language teaching; portfolio as a method of students’ media literacy (media competence) formation; methods of presenting a term paper in a form of television project; creating video libraries for teachers and students). The ways of implementing German experience in future philology teachers’ professional training at Sumy State Pedagogical University named after A.S. Makarenko have been considered. The activity of students’ scientific circle “Media Culture of Philology Teacher” has been characterized.

Full textAbstract:
The terms of Ukrainian language education (in particular, methods of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language) are part of a professional language that is constantly evolving, absorbing new concepts from world didactics and specifying existing ones. The newly formed microsystems of terms need to be standardized, unified, and mostly harmonized in order to coordinate them with foreign equivalents. All this determines the relevance of the proposed study. The purpose of the article is to analyze the semantic paradigm of the term writing, to distinguish specific terms and describe the concepts they denote, as well as to suggest ways of terminology standardization and harmonization. To achieve this goal, a descriptive method and a method of component analysis were used. Elements of the comparative method were used to compare Ukrainian and foreign equivalents. The term writing in Ukrainian language education denotes a productive type of speech activity. Mastering writing means mastering graphic symbols, being able to use them to capture the idea, and as a result – to develop the ability to create text. In order to standardize the professional language, it is proposed to use a special unit of writing, which naturally complements the system of speech activities: reading, speaking, listening. According to the criterion of «goal», a group of terms is distinguished: academic, practical and creative writing. According to other criteria, different types of writing are systematized (for example, collective, pair, individual; controlled, partially controlled, independent). Often their form is not yet established in the professional language. Thus, the analysis showed the patterns of formation of the paradigm of the term writing on various grounds and revealed problematic moments in the formation of the analyzed system of terms. The proposed terms (the scope of which is defined on the basis of how they function in language education) with an attempt to outline the definition can be the basis for terminology standardization and harmonization.
