The development of creative writing skills often has not only methodological, but also psychological value. The work on the development of creative writing skills is indirectly fixed both in general professional and universal competences, reflecting the ability of students to create texts as a part of the soft skills implementation for future professionals. Creative writing is a complex term that includes a wide variety of forms and formats, united by individualization, artistry and originality. Creative writing can be practiced with learners of different training levels, be part of a group project or individual assignment, be spontaneous (reactive) or be the result of long preparation (extensive). The objective of the article is to describe some of the techniques for working with creative writing; the above techniques can be adapted to different levels of foreign language proficiency. The methods described in the work are based on the experience of the authors, and are also the result of the analysis of domestic and foreign methodological literature. Scientific and methodological works on the study and analysis of creative writing reveal a wide range of its study: philosophical foundations, psychological and methodological aspects, development history, creative writing as one of the professional skills, etc. Traditional creative writing techniques (compositions of various types) rarely find emotional response from students, that is why the authors propose alternative forms of work using assistive devices, Internet technologies, artificial intelligence, the practice of creating collages, emotional coaching, etc. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the relatively complete depiction of the diversity of points of view and approaches to understanding creative writing in general. The techniques described in the study were tested on students of intermediate (B1) and advanced/professional (C1) levels of language proficiency. The conclusions provide generalized information on the topic under consideration.

The relevance of the study is stipulated by the need to examine the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in writing essays in a foreign language by participants in interuniversity competitions. Recently, authors have been abusing the use of neural networks when writing essays, which raises concerns about the role of this stage of the competition in identifying the creative potential of students. In this regard, the aim of the study is to identify the advantages and disadvantages of writing an essay as a competitive stage of the Olympiad in a foreign language and the advisability of holding it. The methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization and comparison served as the methodological basis of the study, which made it possible to present the theoretical foundations of the scientific work, as well as to make a comprehensive analysis of the results of such a stage of the competition as essay writing. The leading approach to the study of the problem should be considered the empirical approach, according to which the use of AI should be limited only to the sphere of processing and analysis of text data, but not an independent author's work. This study and its results confirm the proposed position. Analyzing the experience of holding an interuniversity competition in English at the Rostov State Transport University, the author comes to the conclusion that neural networks capable of producing text are universally available, but such generated work does not meet the requirements for competition participants, it does not express a personalized approach to doing the assignment, which becomes obvious when checking such works, including a comprehensive text borrowing detection system using AI. The scientific study confirms the advisability of holding a competitive test at the interuniversity Olympiad in the form of writing an essay in a foreign language, since this type of written work has a number of advantages: it reveals the creative abilities of students, indicates the degree of formation of foreign language competence and critical thinking, as well as the professional competence of the participants in general. The theoretical significance of the study lies in further studying the issue of the possibilities of using AI in teaching a foreign language. The practical significance of the work is determined by the results of the study, the experience of holding an interuniversity Olympiad in English, which can be used by teachers of technical universities.
