Creative writing in Arabic is often seen as the domain of native speakers. While the strict grammar rules can feel restrictive, writing creatively in this language is not only possible for non-native speakers: it’s also a powerful way to deepen language learning from a fresh, often overlooked perspective.
In these two workshops, you will practice Arabic while developing your creative voice, experimenting with structured yet free-flowing writing, and exploring the power of imagery, metaphor, and rhythm.
Preparation: Before the workshop, you will read a short selection of poetry and prose.
Open to: Intermediate to advanced Arabic students. Limited places available. To sign up, please email Dr Ayah Durkawi at [email protected] by 13 March 2025.
