CALT“…the use of any language is inherently creative…” (Clarke, 2010: p.2)
“Creativity does not happen inside people´s heads, but in the interaction between a person´s thoughts and a sociocultural context. It is a systemic rather than an individual phenomenon.“ (Csikszentmihalyi,M. 1996; p.23)
“ Creativity is a natural function of intelligence of every individual that takes many forms, has different levels and draws from a variety of capacities …“ (Robinson,K. 2009; Csikszentmihalyi,M. 1996; Torrance 1970, Runco et al.,
2010:362; Treffinger et al., 2002; Heindel and Furlong, 2000)
“…people cannot be taught creativity but, instead, the right combination of personal characteristics and an encouraging environment could produce it…“ (Csikszentmihalyi, 1996; Heindel and Furlong, 2000)
