TITLE: INSPIRING ENGLISH LEARNERS AND TEACHERS TO WRITE OUT OF THE BOX
Observations show that in recent decades, English teachers have appeared to use a number of innovative pedagogical methods around the world so that learners can be inspired to use creativity in lieu of cramming and rote- memorization in their day to day classroom actions.
In this workshop, the speaker focuses on how he inspires their limited proficient learners and even some teachers in remote and rural areas to write creatively and innovatively in the classroom. He presents how he follows the models of small poems created by Jaya and Alan in the classroom. Finally, he shares some of the creative work of their limited proficient learners.

11. WHEN YOU WALK AT NIGHT
When you walk at night
Snakes dance
Suddenly
They fall down
And die for ever
As
They hear the music
Of your soft feet
When you walk at night
The starts twinkle in the sky
Suddenly
They fall down
Tear into pieces
And die for ever
As
They look at
The beauty of your rosy cheeks
The next day
Early in the morning
The sun
Rises in the east
And with their blazing eyes
Peeps through
The hilly bushes
Just to see
What happens?
When you walk at night

22. DIVERGENT THINKING
Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to
generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.
The goal of divergent thinking is to generate many different
ideas about a topic in a short period of time. It involves breaking
a topic down into its various component parts in order to gain
insight about the various aspects of the topic. Divergent thinking
typically occurs in a spontaneous, free-flowing manner, such that
the ideas are generated in a random, unorganized fashion.

Convergent thinking is a term coined by Joy Paul Guilford as the
opposite of divergent thinking. It generally means the ability to
give the "correct" answer to standard questions that do not
require significant creativity, for instance in most tasks in school
and on standardized multiple-choice test for intelligence.
