Abstract

We are all creative in our own way, in how we perceive and present ourselves to the world, in how we make sense of the world. Teachers’ and students’ creativity intertwine in the ESL classroom. Teachers can empower students’ creativity by giving them clear tasks based on the students’ interests and that rely not so much on their textbooks but on bringing new media and project work into focus.
