This is the publication issued by the University of Portsmouth about Creative Writing in a Foreign Language. It contains the results of a competition amongst the university’s students. It is part of a wider Creative Writing in Foreign Language project which has already won the European Award for Languages, a national prize organised by CILT, the Centre for Information on Language Teaching, in 2004.
Entering this competition enable students to use their language skills beyond just what is needed to communicate in everyday situations and to succeed in exercises in an educational setting.
Many people have contributed to this little volume, including myself, Dr Valda Bunker, of the department for Curriculum and Quality Enhancement, John Naysmith, the Head of the School of Language and Area Studies at the University of Portsmouth, John Cross and Elizabeth Maldonado, who are involved with the project at Portsmouth, UK, Margaret Anne Clark, and Marie McCullagh.
The standard of the winning entries is very high, and also the pieces which have been included also because they are good. This is really worth looking at. ISBN 978 1 86137 531 5
