Creativity and Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching

Abstract

Creativity and innovation have become central pillars in modern language education. As globalization, digital transformation, and multicultural communication reshape the demands placed on learners, traditional teacher-centered approaches are increasingly insufficient. This article explores the role of creativity in language acquisition, examines innovative pedagogical strategies, and reviews empirical research supporting creative and technology-enhanced practices. The paper argues that fostering creativity not only improves linguistic competence but also enhances motivation, critical thinking, and intercultural communicative competence.
