TRIZ as Innovative Method in English Language Teaching

Abstract

Learning English is critical because English is an international language, and it plays a significant role in everyone's life. English serves as a gateway to the world. Education is a tool that allows students to both acquire knowledge and develop their creative thinking skills. The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits of TRIZ implementation as an innovative method for foreign language teaching and learning, in English lessons to improve students' writing and reading skills. An experimental group and a control group were compared within the framework of a quasi-experimental research design. In the experimental group, English lessons, reshaped within the framework of TRIZ, an innovative teaching method, were held for two months. In the control group, any teaching activities shaped within the framework of the TRIZ method were not carried out. A pre-test and a post-test were used to analyze the effectiveness of the TRIZ method on students' writing and reading skills and to compare the experimental and control groups. In addition, observations (students' interactions with the teacher and their views on the teaching method used) were made to evaluate the participants in both classes and to compare their similarities and differences. In summary, within the framework of this research, it was concluded that the application of the TRIZ method in English lessons improves students' reading and writing skills and can help bring an innovative perspective to English Language Teaching.
