About this book

This book offers a unique perspective on creativity in an educational environment where there is a relative dearth of literature on this subject. The authors link practice and principle to provide a practical and valuable guide for more creative language learning and teaching, using not only theoretical ideas but useful practical advice and recommendations on how better to introduce creativity into teaching and daily life. This innovative volume is sure to become a crucial reference point for teachers and practitioners of language teaching, and anyone interested in the ways in which creativity can be channelled into the teaching and learning process.

Reviews

“The book as a whole offers us a unique synthesis of perspectives, and works hard to do so, presenting its case with precision and scholarship. … Depending on whether you are a teacher, teacher trainer, university lecturer or materials writer, there is something in this store that will inspire, inform and perhaps even lead to change.” (Jane Spiro, ELT journal, Vol. 73 (1), January, 2019)
