"the Integration Of Creative Writing As Literary And Visual Arts Pedagogy In Teacher Education Programs"

Résumé: The integration of creative writing as literary and visual arts pedagogy in teacher education programs is an area of research that has received attention in recent years. The use of creative writing instruction in teacher education programs can help to develop teachers' skills in teaching writing and literacy, as well as their own creative writing skills. However, creative writing skills development is the exception rather than the rule in teacher-education programs generally, despite the evidence that supporting creativity in beginning-teacher programs supports creativity in the classroom. The integration of creative writing into academic writing skills in EFL classes has also been investigated, with the aim of improving students' attitudes towards writing and increasing their level of success. A systematic review of the literature on teaching creative writing in primary schools found that teachers' practices in the classroom directly influence the ways in which students express their identities. The use of creative writing communities to support teachers' professional development holistically has also been suggested. Therefore, an investigation of the integration of creative writing as literary and visual arts pedagogy in teacher education programs can help to identify effective models of creative teaching and learning in teacher education practice, and to develop innovative classroom practices for using creative writing to enhance students' reading and writing skills.
