This document discusses creative writing and its benefits for language teaching. Creative writing involves personal expression of thoughts and emotions rather than just conveying information. It uses imagination and sometimes poetry. The creative writing process includes planning, drafting, revising, editing, and getting peer critique. For learners, creative writing can aid language development, increase confidence and motivation. It helps students become more creative readers. For teachers, engaging in creative writing keeps the language fresh, builds better relationships with students, and makes them better writing teachers overall.

We would listen together to the most pleasant melodies and I would tell them about the instruments which make the music. Then, amazed with the beauty of music, they themselves would ask me to teach them the mystery of those little black dots written on five lines. Because these little black dots are only tools for the musical production. The experience of beauty must come first." Rubem Alves
