Creative Teaching – Experiential Learning Methods | Tran Phuong Nga

Na, an English teacher in Hanoi, presents on experiential learning—a creative teaching method. She defines it as a pedagogical approach emphasizing active, hands-on engagement, connecting theories to real-world situations, fostering deeper understanding. Rooted in ideas from Dewey, Piaget, and Kolb, it follows a cycle of experiencing, reflecting, conceptualizing, and acting. Key components include being process-oriented, active participation, and reflection. Examples include field trips, cooking, and games. While time-consuming, it offers real-world connections, develops soft skills, and enhances learning, making it a powerful educational tool despite its challenges.
