The purpose of Baggins & Gamgee is to liberate the creative momentum of ESL writers in Asia. Though English plays an important role in student’s day-to-day studies, the emphasis on exams and grades has made studying English an unproductive practice and mere burden, especially in Eastern Asia. The common yet impractical pursuit of “accurate English” has deterred the ESL production in this very region.
Starting from Taiwan, we demonstrate the possibility of ESL writing through Taiwanse English literaure. By enriching the definition of Taiwanese literature, it breaks the creative boundary and gives individuals a different choice to voice and record their stories and experiences. Meanwhile, it paves way for creating a diverse presentation of “Taiwanese English”.
