LEARNING ENGLISH DIFFERENTLY: CRITICAL AND CREATIVE APPROACHES TO ELT METHODS

In an era where English has become a global bridge for knowledge, culture, and opportunity, the way we teach it must evolve. Learning English Differently: Critical and Creative Approaches to ELT Methods invites readers to rethink English Language Teaching through fresh, innovative, and context-responsive perspectives. Moving beyond rigid, traditional classroom routines, this book explores a spectrum of contemporary methods; Problem-Based Learning, Project-Based Learning, Task-Based Language Teaching, Cooperative Learning, Communicative Language Teaching, Flipped Classroom, Post-Method Pedagogy, and more.

Drawing on blending theory, research, and practical classroom strategies, the authors illuminate how each approach can foster critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communicative competence. More importantly, the book challenges educators to question underlying assumptions in ELT and to design learning experiences that honor students’ identities, cultures, and lived realities.

Written with clarity and vision, this book serves as an essential companion for teachers, education students, researchers, and anyone committed to transforming English learning into a meaningful, empowering, and future-oriented journey.
