Abstract

Teaching English as a foreign language continues to use traditional, unproductive, methods to enhance writing. Therefore, this study has established its goals as: 1) improving students’ creativity and writing in English as a foreign language, concentrating on fluency; and 2) encouraging students to transmit their ideas and realities through creative production. The experimental group was formed by 10th grade English students (4th grade of obligatory secondary education) (ESO in Spanish). We used the fanfiction methodology by applying it to creative writing in English. This means starting from an existing creative work to write about it, employing one’s own imagination. This was a group exercise, and we applied the multiliteracy and multimodality theories. Results show how students published their stories online, creating like-minded spaces and receiving feedback from a more extensive audience. They improved their creativity and fluency in English.
