Abstract | This essay reports on the findings of a study of Swedish teenagers who have a free-time interest of creative writing in English. The essay includes extracts from interviews in which the participants explain their motivations to start their writing activity and continue with it over a longer period. Having been inspired initially by a desire to imitate and adapt stories they had read, the teenagers' interest in writing became a vehicle to help them understand experiences and deal with emotions. The essay includes some consideration of these findings in the light of Vygotskian ideas about art and literature. I also discuss the young people's choice of English as a language for their creativity. As well as highlighting the teenagers' insights, I reflect over my own move from England to Sweden and what it has taught me about learning languages and teaching English. (As Provided). |
