Rezensionen
"Unpacking Creativity for Language Teaching delivers exactly what the title suggests, presenting a fascinating multidimensional and multidisciplinary perspective on creativity in which different theories and approaches to creativity are unpacked and applied to the practical issues involved in developing a creative pedagogy for both language teaching and language teacher education."

- Jack C. Richards, University of Sydney

"Although central to many disciplines, the term "creativity" is used in various, sometimes confusing ways. Tan Bee Tin's lucid, scholarly approach surveys the field, clarifies the issues, and contributes exciting new ideas of her own. This book is a major contribution to the understanding of creativity in language use and language teaching."

- Guy Cook, King's College London

"Creativity in language teaching is an ill-defined and misunderstood word. This book establishes a better understanding of creativity through an examination of creativity in different disciplines in general and in language teaching in particular to define three pillars on which creative language teaching can be based. It will be a very valuable resource for researchers, materials writers and language teachers."
