Abstract
In this article we consider different viewpoints on the terms “creative thinking†and “creativityâ€, the concept of creativity of primary school pupils. We highlight the main important components of a child’s creativity and creative thinking. This article looks at the creative methods which allow building conditions for student’s communicative interaction and solving communicative problems with the help of creative thinking in English Language Teaching as а foreign language and the benefits and downsides. The main aim of this article is to examine the impact of creative thinking development on improving speaking skills, creative approach to problem solving and expression of ideas of primary school students. Due to the fact that in Kazakhstan there is an artificial language environment in foreign language learning, our experimental research showed that the work at creative thinking at the English lessons can contribute to the development of the ability to think in the target language. It focuses on a particular class (English as а foreign language), at Kazakhstani primary school.
