Don’t you think that creativity is essential in efficient language learning? Learning things in a fun and creative way means remembering them for a long time! You probably still remember creative teachers you’ve had at school and things you’ve learned from them.

Language games and other fun activities are one of the reasons we like language classes. Here are some tricks for language teachers (but not only!) that boost students’ creativity:

▶Give students the power💪 to create on their own—whether it be presentations, arguments, or assignments. Divide the class into several groups and give each of them a different assignment.

▶Promote active learning. Ask students to think outside the 📦, use their creativity, e.g., ask them to write a poem or describe music 🎼or play a sound and ask students to take down what they feel when they hear it.

▶Create a fun and positive learning environment in the classroom, making the class more enjoyable for the students and you. Fun and positivity are contagious. 🎈

▶Play games; for example, ask students to walk around the school or the yard and write down all of the words they see. Play a game where one student sketches the objects, and fellow students have the chance to guess the correct term.

▶Break the usual routine. 🕣 Change roles, switch up the order, let students choose the assignment, or decide what to do.
Creativity is the spark that gets it all going, so boost it! ✨
