It emphasizes the creation of literary works rooted in personal experiences, allowing both teachers and students to express and negotiate their life narratives.

It provides practical methods for writing poems and short stories inspired by everyday encounters, highlighting the importance of subjective experiences in language acquisition. The contents include a foreword, an introduction, sections on the conceptual bases for poems and stories, insights on organizing writing field trips, and useful activities, culminating in concluding remarks. This work aims to enrich the language learning process by incorporating real-life narratives into the curriculum, affirming the value of creative expression in education. ISBN 9783862885718.
