An emphasis ·on creativity as well as its implications for teacher
education is significant for the South African education system. In
this study some relevant issues related to the creative teaching of
English in the· Junior Primary phase of schooling as well as to the
training of teachers are highlighted.
The transitional changes that are taking place currently, present a
challenge for all educators, particularly language educators. It is
evident that teachers need to acquire competencies which would
enable them to function effectively in a multicultural, multilingual
society. They need to be a skilled, flexible and innovative work-force.
The main area of focus. is the training programme used at Springfield
College of Education. An analysis of the Junior Primary English
Syllabus reveals that there is a need for the programme to be
orientated towards the development of creative teachers. This study
includes some recommendations for teaching practice and teacher
training. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Didactics)
