This session will explore the current issues regarding creativity in education, especially for teaching and learning a language. What is creativity? Who can be considered creative? What are the barriers to creativity? Is a creative teacher enough to promote creativity in students? How can we create the right atmosphere for creativity to arise? We will debate this and I will then share my experience of different tips and strategies for promoting creativity in the classroom. I will share a variety of tasks that include personalization, literature responses and creative language practice by showing examples of my own students´ work, some of which make use of technology.
