Abstract

This study aims at finding out a theory of creative writing in order to develop 'soft textbook' type edutainment. 'Soft Textbook' means a kind of textbook, which conveys knowledge and information with ease and amusement. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The thrill and suspense of a mystery novel, the detective's reasoning and the setting up of a detective as an expert of a special field get knowledge and information to be conveyed easily, interestingly, with broad merging, in the state of being immersed. 2. 'Frame' type novels pass knowledge with diverse layers, through lecture and performance methods, by entering into reality and fantasy. In addition, narratives like survival stories and family reunion stories create immersion, stimulating human's basic desires. 3. Duplex structure of mystery stories is adequate to conveying enormous knowledge and a metafiction structure ensures a new viewpoint on a specific field of study by inducing reflective viewpoints on knowledge. 4. Metaphors, fables and examples are good instruments of effective conveying of knowledge and to command them rightly, audience's previous cognition on a specific knowledge should be examined thoroughly.
