“You want a shortcut to art?” Digital tools and creative writing activities in the secondary English classroom

Dr. Patricia Skorge

Creative writing in the English L2 classroom has rich potential for language learning and personal development. In this very hands-on workshop, we’ll experiment with some entertaining older text-generators as well as current AI tools to discover and discuss how we can harness them productively for creative writing in English lessons. You’ll also become acquainted with a variety of creative writing forms, including ones appropriate for less advanced learners.
