DEVELOPING CREATIVE COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES
Keywords:
creative communicative competence, innovative educational approaches, upper secondary school students, foreign language teaching, communicative competence, creativity, interactive learning.Abstract
The article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of developing creative communicative competence in upper secondary school students through innovative educational approaches. In modern foreign language education, the formation of communicative competence alone is insufficient; learners are also expected to demonstrate creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and flexibility in communication. The study analyzes the pedagogical potential of learner-centered instruction, interactive technologies, project-based learning, and creative tasks in fostering students’ creative communicative competence. The findings indicate that innovative educational approaches contribute significantly to the development of learners’ ability to communicate effectively, think creatively, and participate actively in collaborative learning environments.
