초록

This paper aims to help teachers and researchers think about why and how to support creative thinking in language learning classrooms. In the literature review, potential links between creativity and the learning of English and the role of teachers in fostering creativity in language learning contexts are discussed. Next, a project focusing on creativity tasks is explored. In the project, fifteen middle school ESL students paired with fifteen pre-service teachers studying for their ESL teaching endorsements to work on three separate sets of creativity tasks. A description of the project is followed by a brief discussion of this learning environment in terms of input, scaffolding, challenge, relevance, and the four essential creative thinking skills. The paper concludes with several suggestions for incorporating creativity into language learning environments and for conducting research in this area.
