Abstract:

This monograph investigates fifteen L2 creative writers' social constructive
power in identity constructions. Through interviews and think-aloud story
writing sessions, the central study considers how L2 writer voices are
mediated by the writers' autobiographical identities, namely, their sense of
selves formulated by their previous language learning and literacy
experiences. The inquiry takes the epistemological stance that L2 creative
writing is simultaneously a cognitive construct and a social phenomenon and
that these two are mutually inclusive. The study contributes to L2 creative
writing research and L2 learner identity research and will be of benefit to
researchers, language teachers and writing instructors who wish to understand
creative writing processes in order to help develop their students' positive
self-esteem, confidence, motivation and engagement with the L2.
