dc.description.abstractenAbstract - The purpose of the study was to investigate BA and BSc students’ and their teachers’ perceptions of fostering creative thinking skills in the ESP classroom. Respondents of the questionnaires included 51 BA students from Portugal and 56 BSc students from Ukraine, as well as their 30 Ukrainian and 16 Portuguese ESP teachers. The results proved that Portuguese teachers spend, and would like to spend, more time on creative thinking skills development than their Ukrainian colleagues. More than a third of teachers in both countries stated that they use PBL to foster students’ creative thinking skills. The main difference noticed was that ESP teachers in Ukraine often chose project-based learning (57.7% – 15 respondents), whereas their Portuguese colleagues prefered role-playing (50% – 6 teachers). The majority (83.8%) of all 37 interviewed Ukrainian future engineers reported a positive attitude to role-playing. However, twelve Portuguese (75%) and twenty-one Ukrainian ESP teachers (70%) admitted combining both creative and traditional approaches in their classrooms. The creative skills most students would like to develop in their ESP classroom include trying new experiments (71.4% of Ukrainian and 56.9% of Portuguese), searching for new ways to solve the problem (69.6% and 82.4%), creating new associations and interdisciplinary links (57.1% and 43.1%), and choosing new information sources (44.6% and 41.2%). Professional situations, which according to the students’ answers demanded from them these skills were defined in the article. The creative ESP tasks students in Ukraine, Portugal and other countries had in their classroom were stated as well.uk
