This model is part of an EFL research project that aims to help L2 creative writers, particularly L2 songwriters. To help L2 writers overcome the formidable challenge of creative writing in a foreign language, we need to understand L2 creativity. The model in this paper simplifies the complex issues of creativity in order to act as a useful tool that breaks the creative process down into six stages: experience, focus on experience, transfer, writing, editing, and objectification. The difficulties of the L2 writer may arise during any of these stages. Using the model, we can systematically begin to identify the difficulties facing the L2 writer and begin to ameliorate them., application/pdf}, pages = {1--17}, title = {Tracing the Flow of L2 Creative Writing}, volume = {24}, year = {2006} }
