This qualitative study investigates a media transfer project in which a digital game was used to promote student creativity in an English as a foreign language (EFL) class. The paper first addresses the potential of opportunities for stimulating student creativity and motivation. Creativity has been highlighted as a core competency and has garnered considerable interest in many fields in recent years; however, creativity and creative writing are rarely cultivated in EFL writing classrooms. This study uses a digital game and designs a creative writing project to provide an authentic learning opportunity through which students were able to develop their creativity, use the target language in a meaningful way, and enjoy learning. A murder mystery game,Her Story, was selected because it provides a springboard for creative writing due to its fragmented and ambiguous narrative. Based on the game plot, 25 Korean university students reimagined the narrative in creative writing projects of their own. The study analyzes the students’ writing according to three constructs in Torrance’s model of creativity: originality, flexibility, and elaboration. The results demonstrate how the students’ writing exhibits considerable creativity in all three constructs. Student reflection papers and surveys indicate that participating in the project enhanced the students’ motivation for and engagement in learning.

她的故事还是他们自己的故事？基于数字游戏的学习、学生创造力和创意写作

这项定性研究调查了一个媒体传输项目，其中使用数字游戏在英语作为外语 (EFL) 课程中促进学生的创造力。本文首先讨论了激发学生创造力和动力的机会的潜力。近年来，创造力被强调为核心竞争力，并在许多领域引起了相当大的兴趣；然而，在英语写作课堂上很少培养创造力和创造性写作。这项研究使用数字游戏并设计了一个创意写作项目，以提供一个真实的学习机会，让学生能够发展他们的创造力，以有意义的方式使用目标语言，并享受学习的乐趣。一个谋杀神秘游戏，她的故事，之所以被选中，是因为它的叙事支离破碎、模棱两可，为创意写作提供了一个跳板。根据游戏情节，25 名韩国大学生在他们自己的创意写作项目中重新构想了叙事。该研究根据托伦斯创造力模型中的三个结构分析学生的写作：独创性、灵活性和精心设计。结果表明学生的写作如何在所有三个结构中都表现出相当大的创造力。学生反思论文和调查表明，参与该项目增强了学生的学习动机和参与度。
