Every child is born with the potential of being creative. Creativity is a crucial aspect of any personality. It helps to analyze things in diverse and uncommon way. Creativity does not just happen; it needs to be cultivated, and the cultivation of creativity in every kid starts from the classroom. You may often be teaching a class which has students who are clearly of different levels. They may have different starting levels of English or they may learn at very different speeds - for any number of reasons.

          Creativity can be promoted or cultivated and here is the list of strategies that can help teachers to promote or cultivate creativity in the classroom. Many researches show that creativity can be cultivated best through emotional contacts. For instance, if teachers give project to the students related to community problems like domestic violence.

It can help in sprouting creativity because of the human touch and hence emotional connection in it. C:\Users\DULATKAZ@MAILRU\Desktop\Kymbat\picture\o-ENGLISH-LEARNING-STUDENTS-facebook.jpg

Classroom environment plays a crucial role in cultivating creativity and confidence in students. Teachers can make classroom environment where each student’s voice matters a lot. Getting involved with the students in the community is the best way to give push to their creativity. Here how teachers can make classroom environment more effective for their students.

·                        Permit frequent discussion and interaction amid students in the classroom.

·                        Make time for informal class opportunity for the students.

·                        Memorize each student’s name meanwhile ensure every student knows everyone’s name.

You can use various models to promote creativity in the students. A perfect model can help in:

·                     Establishing connection amid the students' real lives and classroom.

·                     Inspire innovation and create chances to resolve novel issues.

·                     Lookout ways to spread learning prospects at classroom and home.

How we know, foreign language learning, like other subjects, is part of the overall development of all students.  Through learning a foreign language, the students can enrich their experience of life, broaden their world vision, and enhance their thinking skills.  Language learning is most effective when students' interest, motivation and attitudes are taken into consideration.  Evaluation should be summative and formative. It should be carried out in terms of what students can do rather than what they cannot do. C:\Users\DULATKAZ@MAILRU\Desktop\Kymbat\picture\eng-7.jpg

Components  that  can  reproduce  students’ abilities :

The process of  studying interactions in the group:

      -to use various  schemes and tables;

      -to use various  types of reading and listening;

      -to develop written language;

      - to train to make dialogues.

To  use  active  methods  of  studying :

      -projects` methods;

      -work  with  Computer  Technology.

Problematic  exercises:

      -summary reports;

      -projects;

      -games;

     - presentation;

     - tests

 Using games, which is communicative in essence, are often considered effective in developing students’ communicative ability.

From my point of view, like most skills, creativity is best learned by doing. Kids don't learn how to be creative by sitting in lectures about the creative process, or getting history lessons on Kazakh innovation. Rather, they learn how to be creative by creating things, by flexing their own imagination. Creative people are ones who make a decision: They decide to buy low and sell high in the world of ideas. The most powerful way to develop creativity in your students is to be a role model. Children develop creativity not when you tell them to, but when you show them. Development of students’s  abilities through reading, writing, speaking and games  is a key component in training students in foreign languages. Different activities and interactive methods give students practice in using the language and results in greater knowledge. The teacher`s role  in the classroom is to be a facilitator and the students should be the central focus.
