 IMAGINATIVE WRITING
Writing fiction, poetry, or any other type of written expression requiring
the use of imagination, originality, and invention. It is a type of writing
that emphasizes on exploring, creating, and expressing ideas, feelings,
and experiences in a distinctive and creative way rather than just
providing factual or informative content.

In imaginative writing, authors frequently use their imagination to

create worlds, characters, and stories that may be wholly made up or
may be based on true events that have been imaginatively altered.
Writing of this kind enables the sharing of intricate feelings or thoughts
as well as the exploration of abstract ideas and artistic expression.

Example of imaginative writing encompasses genres such as science

fiction, fantasy, poetry, fiction, and magical realism.

 I'm Nobody! Who are you?
by Emily Dickinson

I'm nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell!
They'd banish -- you know!

How dreary to be somebody!

How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

ABSTRACT
This qualitative research examines students' perceptions of Creative Writing as a tool for improving academic writing. Using a Purposive Sampling
technique, the study analyzed responses from seventh-semester students at State Islamic University of North Sumatera. Findings suggest that while
Creative Writing is distinct from Academic Writing, both are interconnected and can enhance students' academic writing.
INTRODUCTION
Mastering English language skills, including reading, writing, speaking, and listening, is crucial for EFL learners. Writing is a hard skill to learn, as it
involves translating texts into English and creating a product that piques interest. To be a good writer, one must be creative, producing or using
original and unusual ideas. Creative writing, which includes short stories, poetry, novels, and plays, is a fun and versatile form of writing.

Creative writing has been overlooked as a fundamental component for developing language learner skills in ESL institutes and intensive ESL
programs. Research shows that creative writing is a bridge to academic writing, nurturing the art of communicating the wonders within the human
mind. It should be an integral component for every ESL and EFL program, serving as a meditational tool that fosters greater motivation and
engagement with writing.

This study aims to understand the perception of EFL learners of Creative Writing and provide a literature review for readers interested in
implementing Creative Writing in EFL classes. By understanding the importance of Creative Writing, EFL learners can improve their writing
abilities and contribute to the development of their language skills.

 RESEARCHMETHOD
This qualitative research focused on descriptive qualitative research, using purposive sampling to select six 7th-semester English
Education Department students from State Islamic University of North Sumatera, Medan. Data was collected using a questionnaire
and unstructured interviews, with the aim of understanding their experience in learning writing and using peer feedback for their
writing.

Findings
In this research, the researcher discussed about the students’ perception of Creative
Writing in Enhancing Academic Writing. The researcher recorded 6 responses to answer the
questionnaire that already made to know about their opinion about Creative Writing and also
about what the effect that they get from Creative Writing in Enhancing Academic Writing.
Firstly, the researcher asked the common question about Creative Writing. The first Question
is about what did they feel about Creative Writing, is it difficult or not.

DISCUSSION
The research findings indicate that creative writing is a helpful and natural tool for students, as it allows them to write on familiar
topics based on their own memories and experiences. This approach promotes identity and self-discovery without fear of intimidation,
teacher-dictated topics, grammar correction, critical comments, or grades. It also increases students' self-confidence in writing and
helps them construct their ideas for academic writing. While creative writing focuses on self-expression, academic writing is more
formulaic and relies more on research and sources. Both creative and academic writing require a well-developed understanding of
grammar, syntax, logical development of ideas, audience consideration, and critical thinking. Despite the differences, both creative
and academic writing are essential for students to enhance their ability to write academic writing.
