Creative Teaching: Using Creative Teaching Methods in a Student-centered ESL Environment
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Creative teaching is a viable approach to education in the digital age. In addition, engaging students’ individual talents and abilities through a method of principled eclecticism involved in creative teaching will motivate them to learn English by engaging them as whole person (Duffy & Hoffman, 1999). All in all, what ESL students need now is not a place to acquire textbook knowledge of the English language through rote memorization, but a safe space to hash out, work with, and work through the language that involves a student centered curriculum, which relates directly to students’ lives. This type of curriculum, brought to life through creative teaching methods, will ultimately motivate them to learn the language (Krashen, 1982).</p>
