David Heathfield Boeken
Deze auteur richt zich voornamelijk op de praktische toepassing van creativiteit in taalonderwijs, waarbij de nadruk ligt op de kracht van storytelling, drama en zang. Zijn werk vloeit voort uit persoonlijke ervaringen met het lesgeven van Engels aan diverse groepen studenten en het leiden van workshops door heel Europa. Hij gelooft dat door inzichten te delen en zelfexpressie te stimuleren, opmerkelijke verbeteringen in zelfvertrouwen en vloeiendheid kunnen worden bereikt. Zijn benadering is geworteld in de overtuiging dat erkenning en ondersteuning fundamenteel van invloed zijn op de ontwikkeling van creativiteit en communicatieve vaardigheden.
