Abstract

The work is a meta-analysis which discusses the sequences of a foreign language teacher’s activity during the process of organizing language classes, with particular emphasis on the issue of creativity. Significant sequences of the language learning system were indicated, along with the use of a number of divergent activities, based on the sequences of the creative organization of students’ contact with a foreign language. In the vast number of lessons the activities dealt with in the paper not only lead to much deeper involvement of students in the language learning process but also result in different forms of activation related to this process. Such steps are mostly referred to the activity of acquisition of both the structure and system of description of reality within the known foreign language. The final part of the work emphasizes the importance and quality of the function performed by the individual creativity of the teacher and student in the course of their glottodidactic activity.
