Abstract

In the original language

This seminar is designed to familiarise English as a second language teachers with the creative approach to language teaching. It offers a practice-oriented insight into ways to improve creativity in learners. The seminar presents creativity as a natural part of language learning and addresses questions of creative potential, processes, situations and barriers. Participants will be engaged in a series of participative activities which will enable them to identify strategies that can broaden their teaching repertoires. They will also gain hands-on experience with best practices, have an opportunity to reflect on their own creative teaching, and see successful examples of how creativity may be developed in kids in English classes.
