REFLECTIONS OF CREATIVITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY CLASSROOM

Abstract

Creativity has long been on the agenda of those innovative and inspirational teachers who have devoted themselves to doing their jobs more effectively. 21^st century teachers are required to fit their skills, abilities and thinking skills into the latest improvements and changes in effective learning pedagogies and look for ways not only to make necessary adaptations in their curriculum, but also go beyond to stimulate learners to develop certain thinking skills to learn. This study mainly puts emphasis on innovative teaching strategies and some out-of-the-box ideas about the way teachers should convert their ideas to be effective in class to shed a new light on effective teaching.

Keywords: creativity, EFL classes, creative activities, 21^st century skills
