Writing skills, like any skills, need to be explicitly learned and practiced. In adult education settings, learners often experience a writing block, especially those who have been out of school for years. The purpose of this article is to explore the use of Comic Life— an app designed to help users create original comic strips or graphic narratives on a variety of topics—to support the development of composition skills for adults. Comic Life can provide a valuable and low-stakes entry point for writing skills across subject areas, particularly for those who struggle with essay writing.
