Synopsis

Responding to a global shift towards more meaningful, practice-based teacher learning, this book examines how English language teachers can develop creativity and turn original ideas into effective classroom innovations. Drawing on contemporary research in teacher development and applied linguistics, it explains why creative-innovative competence has become essential in rapidly changing educational contexts.

This book outlines a structured professional development programme grounded in transformative action research. It demonstrates how teachers can strengthen creative thinking, experiment with new techniques and reflect systematically on their practice. Clear explanations of cognitive, social and psycholinguistic perspectives on creativity are combined with adaptable tools, classroom strategies and reflective prompts that support sustainable professional growth. Analysis of practising English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ experiences provides evidence of how creative attitudes and teaching approaches evolve when supported through purposeful professional development.

Written for teacher educators, in-service EFL teachers, programme designers and postgraduate students in language education, the volume offers both scholarly insight and practical guidance. It shows how educators can build confidence, respond flexibly to classroom challenges and embed creativity within everyday teaching. The result is a timely and accessible resource for anyone seeking to foster innovation and professional agency in English language education.
