Creativity in English Language among B.Ed. Students in Puducherry Region

Abstract

Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual (Arthur Koestler, 1949). The above quote is expected to be witnessed among the modern teachers. Creativity in language refers to multi-dimensional attitude towards any language for expressing their thoughts and ideas uniquely. In this view, the present study investigated the language creativity of B.Ed. Student-Trainee Teachers. 300 samples were selected from B.Ed. student-trainee teachers from three Colleges of Education in Puducherry Region. The Language Creativity Tool was administered to trainee teachers and found out that there is a significant difference between male and female trainee teachers, urban and rural trainee teachers. In conclusion, the language creativity of the B.Ed. trainees was low when compared to the deviation from the mean scores. Therefore, the teacher educators play a pivotal role in enhancing the language creativity among the B.Ed. student teacher trainees.
