 CREATIVE WRITING AND MEDICAL STUDENTS – AN ESP CHALLENGE FOR CREATIVITYOana Badea
Social Sciences and Education Research Review, 2026, vol. 13, issue 1, 320-325 Abstract: Creativity is the process of giving birth to new things, ideas, and solutions which may not necessarily have existed before. Writing in English is mainly significant for improving creative and critical thinking skills. Some medical students, for example, struggle in creative writing in English as a foreign language due to the negligence of this skill in the ESP courses. Thus, the present study makes a significant contribution to the ESP literature because it investigates ESP students’ perceptions about creative language, particularly during their medical English courses and provides recommendations for improving the skills of creative writing in the future. This study aimed at investigating the students’ perception on medical English creative writing, and to find out how it can help teachers and material developers to develop creative writing activities in their ESP courses. Furthermore, this study aimed at raising teachers, students, and material writers’ awareness about the importance of creative writing in ESP courses, in general, and in medical specialized English language, in particular.
