Creative Use of English


Creative Eng_logo

Promoting the creative use of English helps enrich and extend students’ language learning experiences. A variety of learning and teaching resources are developed to support schools in incorporating elements of the creative use of English into the English Language curriculum and facilitate students’ self-directed learning. These resource materials can be used in combination flexibly to enhance students’ awareness and understanding of creative English and help them apply the relevant skills effectively.



Animated Videos

The animation series is developed to illustrate different writing skills and techniques with explanation of real-life examples. The six animated videos, each lasting around 4-6 minutes, feature key topics on the creative use of English. Teachers can integrate the videos into the relevant modules and units of the school English Language curriculum to help develop students’ sensitivity to the creative use of English and inspire their creativity. Students can view the animations outside class for self-learning.
