Details In a program of Extensive Reading at a university of foreign studies in Japan, we have added a Creative Writing post-reading activity that includes: 1) regular explanations of narratological aspects such as narrator types, voice, characters, focalization, space, time, action, chronotope, genres, and intertextuality; plus 2) the development of every student's own fictional writing with the support of AI in the form of prompts to LLM models. This communication presents the process and results of that program.
