Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay reports on the findings of a study of Swedish teenagers who have a free-time interest of creative writing in English. The essay includes extracts from interviews in which the participants explain their motivations to start their writing activity and continue with it over a longer period. Having been inspired initially by a desire to imitate and adapt stories they had read, the teenagers’ interest in writing became a vehicle to help them understand experiences and deal with emotions. The essay includes some consideration of these findings in the light of Vygotskian ideas about art and literature. I also discuss the young people’s choice of English as a language for their creativity. As well as highlighting the teenagers’ insights, I reflect over my own move from England to Sweden and what it has taught me about learning languages and teaching English.

“哦,你好,Word!”“瑞典语和英语的边界跨越”
摘要本文报道了一项针对瑞典青少年的研究结果,这些青少年在业余时间对英语创造性写作感兴趣。这篇文章包括采访摘录,参与者在采访中解释了他们开始写作活动并持续更长时间的动机。最初,这些青少年的灵感来自于模仿和改编他们读过的故事的愿望,他们对写作的兴趣成为了帮助他们理解经历和处理情绪的工具。本文结合维果茨基的文艺思想对这些发现进行了思考。我还讨论了年轻人出于创造力而选择英语作为一种语言的问题。除了强调青少年的见解外,我还反思了自己从英国搬到瑞典的经历,以及它教会了我学习语言和教授英语的东西。
