Special Supplement: Creativity in the Language Classroom
It is a given that creativity, that unique ability to harness thoughts and ideas, drives us forward as a species. It is the single factor that has enabled humanity to produce everything from the first sharpened tool, to the wheel, the lightbulb, the Fifth Symphony, The Starry Night, War and Peace, the space shuttle, the smartphone – the list is endless. One thing is certain though – creativity is a habit, a way of working, a way of thinking, and a way of seeing the world. And for the way it helps us discover and enjoy, question and explore, build, tinker, and really live, creativity can help us understand ourselves. But it requires that we first imagine and step into the unknown to begin with, as the actor Alan Alda reminds us: “The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.”
