Description This webinar offers a practice-oriented insight into a Creative Approach to Language Teaching (CALT). It presents creativity (M. Csikszentmihalyi, K. Robinson, J.P.Gilford, B.Krouwel, E. de Bono) as an integral part of the language learning process and addresses aspects of creative teaching that help teachers accept roles of facilitators, guides and language advisors who share negotiated responsibilities with the rest of an established learning community-of-practice. It introduces theories, identifies approaches and shares successful CALT principles that foster autonomy and allow learners to become natural and actively engaged co-authors of their own language learning. The aim of this webinar is to discuss how creative teaching may equip learners with strategies that can help them solve a wider variety of language and communication challenges they may face in the future.
