"Kurieitibu raitingu o toriireru igi ―taiwa to shakai sanka ni omoki o oku katsudō to no hikaku kara―"The significance of incorporating creative writing -From the perspective of activities focused on dialogue and social participation.

The paper is the third presentation of the full- panel: "Significance and Methods of Creative Writing in Foreign Language Education Fostering Creativity and Reflexive Thinking for Learners’ Holistic Development", composed by three individual authors: Sanae OHNO (Juntendo University) Gaia VARONE (Ca' Foscari University of Venice) Marcella MARIOTTI (Ca' Foscari University of Venice). The first two papers deal with Creative writing project content, in which students use their imagination and creativity to write stories and poems. This allows learners to experience the joy of writing by choosing and devising expressions to figure out the world they have created. Given that the Common European Framework of Reference can-do list mentions writing creative texts, fictional narratives and simple poems about someone, writing creatively is considered to be among the skills language education should cultivate. However, in Japanese language education, creative writing has not been fully discussed nor has a teaching method been established; moreover, there have been few reports of its practice. First paper by Ohno, explains the story-writing teaching method inspired by Chinese language education. The seond paper by Varone reports on the method’s practical application and verify its effectiveness. The third paper by mariotti, consider creative writing’s significance from the citizenship education perspective.
