a
One of the most challenging parts of the process of writing is idea-generating, which is crucial mainly at an initial stage, but necessary also at later stages. How can we help learners to overcome writer’s block and come up with imaginative and relevant ideas? This workshop will explore techniques to help students to get started and keep drawing upon their creativity throughout the writing process.
