Creative writing can offer avenues of expression, build reading and writing skills, as well as much-needed confidence in the classroom. Creative writing also fosters self-esteem and builds important communication bridges between learners and the teachers who work with them. The authors have tried their ideas at schools of all levels; they have learned that students of all kinds profit in many ways from creative writing, but even more so when their own lives are the object of the descriptions. The rationale and the exercises presented here should provide many jumping-off points for other ideas and projects. We encourage their use with learners of a second language because they draw on the experiences of the participants, forcing them to look inside themselves for inspiration. This should help them to understand that their feelings and visions have value. The exercises aim to encourage self-expression. Besides developing creativity, these exercises can reduce the affective filter, foster self-esteem, enhance communication skills, and improve the student's interest and confidence in learning to read and write in a second language. As with creative arts, the process of self-reflection and the recognition and resolution of conflicts bring many inherent educational benefits.
