"Creativity in the context of ELT is recombining known elements in a new and engaging way. For example, borrowing activities and techniques from a very different field and applying them in the language classroom." Jorge Sette (Brazil) "For language learners, I think creativity is about going beyond language for language's sake, and using it as a tool towards making something. For language teachers, I think it's about not being afraid to experiment with the unknown and venture out of your 'safe zone' now and then. Experimentation is the investment, and creativity is the reward when it goes well." Damian Williams (UK) "Creativity is Imagination in action Fabiana Casella (Argentina) "Being creative doesn't always mean being original. Sometimes you can give known ideas a new twist. For me being resourceful is also being creative. Dealing with unexpected situations - thinking on your feet." Ela Wassell (Poland) 5.
