Creative Writing
Marcel Van Amelsvoort （Kanagawa Prefectural College of Foreign Studies)

Writing is one skill that gives a lot of teachers headaches. Teachinglearners how to compose correct sentences, paragraphs, and essays isdifficult and time-consuming. This month, however, I’d like tointroduce some sites with a writing focus, but a little different fromthe standard. Some of these are sites where you can have your learnerspractice writing that is more creative and less focused oncorrectness. These can be fun and can get learners to think moredeeply about vocabulary and expression and might be good for anyclasses, not just writing classes. Others can help with accessingvocabulary or sharing writing among learners.

Welcome back everyone. This month we complete our look at sites that can
be used to develop the four skills of English: listening, reading,
speaking, and writing. This month we’ll look at writing. Some of the
sites listed in last month’s column on speaking can also be used for
writing assignments. The web is a great place to turn to find things to
write about and the sites I introduced last month can help with that.
But the Internet also offers new options for the teaching of writing,
options that can make writing more interactive, meaningful, and much
more exciting.
