David Heathfield Libri
Questo autore si concentra principalmente sull'applicazione pratica della creatività nell'educazione linguistica, enfatizzando il potere della narrazione, del dramma e del canto. Il suo lavoro deriva dall'esperienza personale nell'insegnamento dell'inglese a diversi gruppi di studenti e nella conduzione di workshop in tutta Europa. Crede che condividendo intuizioni e incoraggiando l'espressione di sé, si possano ottenere notevoli miglioramenti nella fiducia e nella fluidità. Il suo approccio si basa sulla convinzione che il riconoscimento e il supporto influenzino fondamentalmente lo sviluppo della creatività e delle capacità comunicative.
