Creative Language Teaching is a blog for all ELT / ESL teachers interested in making their lessons far from being ordinary. Having in mind that not every lesson can be conducted entirely that way, I firmly believe the creative approach towards language teaching has vast potential to offer. Once you understand that education means inspiration, you will become interested in making your students inspired. And this is what this blog is about - being inspired and making others inspired as well.
