Details	A cultural-stylistic approach to teaching creative short story writing can be especially appropriate for those about to study abroad or for returnees. This paper reports on course in which Learners read short stories that illustrated various stages of the foreign sojourn and also introduced various stylistic elements accessible to the learners. Students worked in groups to write cultural adaptations of Hemingway's "Hills like White Elephants" earlier in the semester, and then each student wrote their own short story and meta-analysis. A student work by Sagiyama (2016) exemplifies potential outcomes and applications this approach can have for advanced English learners with study abroad experience. This paper reports on the application of this approach in designing an advanced extensive reading and creative writing elective course and calls for collaborators interested in developing materials for anthologies of short stories on the theme of study abroad.
