It is difficult for many people to be creative but it is more difficult for a teacher to worry about being innovating in the form he manage the class in order to concrete a meaningful teaching. According to David Hargreaves, a UK´s leaders in educational innovation of performance, “The most simple definition ... is that innovation or knowledge creation means that practitioners learn to do things differently in order to do them better.”( 2003, p. 27). Probably his thinking is more representative for educators but it may refer to incremental, emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. Innovation can be seen as a change in the thought process for doing something, or the useful application of inventions or discoveries. According to this, teachers who use these attributes of innovative education can produce powerful learning activities that can include three of the most important attributes for the process of learning a new language such us high expectations for achievement, learners pleasure in learning and feedback is encouraged.
There are many myths surrounding about learn a new language. For example, it is common to hear that children learn more easily than adults. This expresses an idea that memory as a body loses power over time and we do not consider this to be a function and as such does not age. However, people can learn a new language with high expectations too. Everybody can learn anything if they have the motivations and the correct tools. For that reason, the innovations used in the class are important. The key idea related to educational innovation is the activity and student participation.
It is common to experience different emotions when people are learning a language. There is the case of the most motivated and confident students that express a joy when they learn and make mistakes. Moreover, other students feel insecure and show anger or frustration. Those situations are very familiar, but if teachers use creative, new and innovative activities to help them feel comfortable, they can make the process of learning a pleasure. Consequently, it will not to be an awful experience.
In addition, Feedback helps students to know how their performance and how they can improve in the future. For that reason, teachers can say that it is an effective tool to learn the way about how others perceive the actions, knowledge, words and work of the individual concerned and it allows you to make known to others their perceptions.
In sort, teaching and learning form a balance between teacher and student, in which the former becomes an instrument to bolster the development of the learner. In that sense, innovation would be determined by the activity of the student, so that it becomes the main protagonist of their own learning, shifting the policy work that has always been given to the teacher, who, from an education located on innovative parameters, would be limited to lead and guide the learner in those areas should do so as well as to the extent necessary in relation to each case.
