But then I realized that when I read a page of philosophy, it’s like I turn the page and the letters crumbled and I didn’t remember a thing, whereas when I read literature, that’s what I remembered. So I studied literature with creative writing courses and then I did my master’s degree, [which] was actually a hybrid degree in English and creative writing. I did some graduate level literature seminars and even published some of my papers there as articles of peer reviewed scholarly literary criticism.  \n[I] also was doing graduate creative writing workshops in poetry and fiction and writing a novel, a thesis novel…my PhD was actually in literature, but I just kept writing and writing and writing. My teaching career has spanned teaching literature classes, teaching creative classes, and then for several years I have actually taught at a tiny Francophone university, Université Sainte-Anne, in Nova Scotia Canada, where I teach in English. The students, the majority of the courses they are taking are taught in French, so that’s where I am teaching bilingual students from the other side. I have colleagues who are teaching them how to speak English and write English, and I am teaching them how to  \nanalyze English literature and how to write English literature. I also had a four-year sojourn in Singapore where I directed the first master’s degree in creative writing there.  \nI’ve always been teaching literature, writing literature, and now I have experience with multilanguage learners, someone, for example, whose English might be a second language. I’ve had that experience in both Canada and in Asia. That’s been fantastic.  \nAD: I think that a lot of our members or people who come to these events might relate to that. So you started with creative writing, with literature and then came into language teaching later. These students sound like advanced students?  \nDW: Well, I mean, in Singapore I was teaching master’s students and elsewhere ","cbCaidXo2ZRqWRAd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidXo2ZRqWRAd","pdf",4924741,6,"English","# Introduction\n## Feature Article\n## Literature in Practice\n## Interviews\n## Review\n## Submission guidelines","[{\"question\":\"What is the main theme of the featured interview in this issue?\",\"answer\":\"The interview centers on creative nonfiction and creative writing for language learning, discussing Whetter’s teaching and perspectives on the future of creative writing in language education.\"},{\"question\":\"Which topic does the feature article address for EFL students?\",\"answer\":\"It examines the effects of using literature on EFL students’ critical thinking and focuses on fostering critical thinking skills in foreign language learning.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of materials appear beyond the interview section?\",\"answer\":\"The issue includes a literature-in-practice article on folktales and intralingual translation, interview notes on literary education, a book review, and submission guidelines for authors.\"}]","Volume 12 - Issue 1 - Interview | PDF",1790088228]
