Abstract

Creativity plays a critical role in enhancing language activities in second language support lessons, particularly in primary school settings. This study explores the integration of creative techniques, such as appliqué and comics, in German as a Second Language (L2) instruction, emphasising their potential to facilitate linguistic creativity and comprehension. By combining visual arts with language tasks, students engage more deeply with linguistic material, transitioning from basic word responses to more complex sentence structures. The research draws on both classroom interventions and ongoing fieldwork to demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods in promoting language development and cultural awareness in young learners.
