Freedom to tale.

Abstract

Short fiction affords many benefits to students and teachers; however, while the values of reading short stories are rarely questioned, the values of student written stories, paradoxically, are often trivialized. Sadly, this can silence student voices in terms of what they can express and how they can express what often matters most to them. This workshop will reveal the development and methodology behind the Creative Writing course at Mahidol University International College, giving insight into how similar courses could be developed at other schools in ways that maximize benefits for students, teachers, and learning institutions, as well as general readers.
