Аннотация:
This research regards students’ learning and writing of fanfiction (fiction written by fans about characters or settings from an original professional's work) as an important tool in studying contemporary literature and culture, as well as building writing skills and developing language awareness, which, as a result, may facilitate a student's growth as a confident writer.
To validate this statement, a series of lessons was given and a fanfiction contest was held among 16-17 year-old students of a boarding school for children gifted in the sciences. In this paper, the structure of the contest is outlined and the steps are described.
This study provides a plan for creative writing workshops and will help literature and language teachers to realise the benefits in writing fanfiction as a way of increasing students’ motivation in studying their subjects. Moreover, it provides clear and structured descriptions of the preparation and holding of a fanfiction contest.
