Creativity is the ability to think creatively, also to elaborate, refine, analyze, and evaluate original ideas to improve and maximize creative efforts. Creativity is the ‘ability to come up with new ideas that are surprising yet intelligible, and also valuable in some way’ (Boden 2001: 95), and it involves different types of creative thinking. Boden proposes three types of creative thinking through which new ideas can be produced:

1. Combinational Thinking, which produces new ideas by associating old ideas in unfamiliar yet intelligible and valuable ways;
2. Exploratory Thinking, which explores all possibilities inherent in a current conceptual space using existing rules; and
3. Transformational Thinking, which significantly alters one or more rules of the current conceptual space.

          The role of creativity in English education can be viewed from both the teacher and the students. The teacher may be able to teach creatively; using creative media, material, technique and strategy. For the students, they can use the language creatively. Language is unique; the students can use the language differently to express themselves in new and meaningful ways.

To teach students Creativity and Innovation;

1. Students should be encouraged to develop real solutions to real needs in real time.
2. Pedagogical approaches that encourage choice and diversity in learning should be implemented.
3. Students should be set free to take risks with their learning. They should be motivated to celebrate wrong answers, to work on finding the correct ones with their experience.
4. Open-ended projects should be encouraged so that students are able to pursue their passions.
5. Use creativity tools like playful games and visual exercises that can be easily used in the classroom to stimulate creativity and innovation.
6. Teach concepts and ideas to foster deep understanding and to overcome the fact-based and rote-oriented nature of standardized curriculum.

          So, let's be creative and make a beautiful change to the world!
