Project Summary

Creative teaching refers to teachers using imaginative approaches to make learning more interesting, exciting and effective; (NACCCE, 1999).Learning through games is ideal to stimulate creative as teaching methods.The game is a means of knowledge, the means of familiarizing students with life surrounding a means of recovery, the creative application of acquired knowledge, a means of moral and social education. The games provide challenging experiences that promote intrinsic satisfaction and provide opportunities for an authentic learning; Increasing skills and developing new tools would allow for the development and implementation of projects using attractive methods tailored to the scale of the problems of education.In response to above and organizational’s needs,the general aim of the project was to make the educational process more creative, creating a tool as method to work for teachers and students, such as kit ,using games;

We consider that the involvement of students and staff helped by different online tools such as a website and a Facebook page where students and staff could exchanged their feed-backs on the project and their proposals. This network, especially among students and staff,gave them the chance to improve their knowledge of English and to exchange information about culture in all Europe;
