Abstract

Creative writing dramatically benefits the development of cultural industry and harmonious society. Creative writing adopts teaching modes such as group discussion, case teaching, and on-site visit emphasizing the disciplines of intersection, integration, penetration, and expansion, breaking through the traditional writing of closed and self-sufficient individual creation. Creative writing teaching aims to train students to be innovative and productive writers at college and beyond to serve society and the cultural industry. However, many colleges and universities in China have not yet established a discipline system for creative writing teaching while it is developing in full swing in western countries. It is imperative to explore and construct a training model for creative writing teaching with a perspective of disciplinary integration in colleges and universities in China, which is highly consistent with the spirit of the document the Declaration on New Liberal Arts Project proposed by Chinese authorities. In line with the spirit of the new liberal arts program, the creative writing teaching models aim to train the students to be innovative writers with a perspective of disciplinary integration at college and beyond. The principle of the project is to promote the interdisciplinary integration of concepts, methods, and knowledge of various disciplines. Based on practical teaching experience, the research combines archival reading and literary analysis to explore how creative writing teaching develops in China. The creative workshop teaching model is conducive because it focuses on cultivating the students’ original writing talents by sparking innovative ideas in methods throughout the teaching.
