PREPARING STUDENTS FOR PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITY IN GERMAN LANGUAGE LESSONS THROUGH CREATIVE METHODS

This article explores the mechanisms for preparing students for pedagogical activities in German language classes using creative teaching methods. The research emphasizes that integrating creativity into language lessons not only enhances students’ linguistic competence but also develops critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to design and implement innovative pedagogical strategies. Special attention is given to interactive approaches, project-based learning, and task-oriented activities, which allow students to actively participate in lesson planning, classroom management, and the creation of engaging learning materials. The study also highlights the importance of fostering students’ professional identity and pedagogical readiness through reflection, collaborative work, and experiential learning within the German language curriculum. The results indicate that creative teaching methods significantly contribute to improving both students’ communicative competence and their readiness to apply pedagogical skills in real classroom settings.
