Description

This book explores how language learning and literacy experiences shape the identities of creative writers who are not native English speakers. Through in-depth interviews and think-aloud writing sessions, the author examines how these writers' voices are influenced by their personal histories.

The study takes a unique approach, considering L2 creative writing as both a cognitive process and a social phenomenon that is deeply connected to the writer's sense of self. This research has important implications for language teachers and writing instructors who want to help their students develop a positive relationship with writing in a second language.

By shedding light on the complex relationships between identity, language learning, and creative writing, this book contributes to our understanding of L2 creative writing and learner identity research. It will be of interest to researchers, educators, and anyone looking to gain insights into the writing processes of non-native English speakers.
