This research paper aims at presenting the options of creative writing in a heterogenic group as a part of German philology studies at Vilnius University. First of all, it deals with the methodological principles and typology of writing tasks based on the didactic models by Wolfrum (2010) and Schreiter (2002). Next, the outline and technical aspects of creative writing workshop offered at VU from 2012 till 2015 are presented. In addition, problems that students and teachers working in a heterogenic group can be confronted with are discussed. In order to summarize the good experience, the feedback delivered by the participants of the workshop in 2014–2015, is analyzed. It is important to demonstrate that in spite of the widely-known stereotype, the creative writing as a part of German as a foreign language learning process means much more than mere “playing in class before the holidays” (Wolfrum 2010, 30).
