Creative Language Teaching: Share your success stories

Good day ! Creative language teaching is important while teaching at school.  Nowadays, we have many opportunities to make our lessons creative and interesting. If to say about my creativity I can say that in most cases I try to use interesting platforms with the tasks that interest children. It will be videos, ppt, games and so one. Also I use quizzes to check childrens’ understanding

Hello, dear colleagues. I think one of the creative way of teaching english in classroom is teaching new topic or vocabulary through discovery by playing interactive games, it helps to engage students, increase their interest and make learning effective and fun. For example, games like "Scavenger Hunt with vocabulary" ,"Role playing Twist", Interactive Story mapoing and others.

When we (I was teaching 9th grade at that time) had a topic "Movies", learning some vocabulary, phrases etc, to fasten the students' knowledge I suggested them to create their own "movie prospect" - the title, the plot, the setting, all the other stuff, and even to draw their own poster to it. And after that they had to present their movies to the class. They just loved the idea
Back in my youth when I was a student myself our teacher suggested us to create comics to tell stories, don't even remember the topic now, but also loved the idea of practicing writing that way. Never tried it as a teacher though

Hello dear colleagues, using creatively is essential in a language teaching classroom. One of the way I use, is to introduce new topic and vocabulary through interactive games which help to engage students and make learning fun. Games such as Scavenger Hunt with Vocabulary, Dice conversation game, Interactive Story maping and other fascinating games I try to implement to make the lesson as an experience for my students. 

Despite the fact that I am a young, aspiring English teacher, I am very active and responsible in my work. I really want to get the result of my work in the form of success, skills and knowledge of my students.
In an ordinary secondary school, I encountered very low motivation of students for English, this became a kind of challenge for me.
Answering the questions:
1. I can say (take into account my background) that I constantly try different forms of work in the lesson to involve and captivate students! Of course, this does not always work, but nevertheless I continue to try.
So, my favorite methods: in elementary school, of course, this is a game with various cards, active forms of work or checking homework.
In middle and high school, I love tasks to develop speaking, namely, often these are projects on the topic of the lesson, I give them clear instructions on how to complete and present information, the most important thing in all this is for them to prepare their speech and TELL the project. Also, what worked very well with my students is group work forms, compiling clusters and defending them, and debates captivate students wonderfully!
For all this, I always prepare materials, colorful worksheets, etc. Most often, I do this using Canva.
In fact, there are sooo many options, you can constantly diversify your teaching.
2. As has already been noted by other participants, I also often use platforms such as: Kahoot it!, Baamboozle, and I can also recommend a platform that I found quite recently, it is more suitable for working with junoirs - www.gynzy.com/en and also share some materials for group work for any garde.

As an English teacher, I firmly believe that creativity is the key to unlocking a love for learning in my students. For example,  instead of traditional dialogues, I encourage my students to step into character and act out scenarios. This not only improves their speaking skills but also helps them understand cultural nuances and body language. I often ask my students to create their own stories. This sparks their imagination and allows them to express themselves freely in English.  use games like Scrabble, crossword puzzles, and word searches to make learning vocabulary and grammar fun and engaging. By incorporating creativity into my lessons, I've seen a significant improvement in my students' engagement, motivation, and overall language proficiency.
