Abstract
Materials can exhibit creativity through their content and through their processes. Under content we review creative exploitation of visuals, literature, creative writing, storytelling, drama and voice, and translation. Under processes we cite work explicitly aimed at developing creativity among students, and work on specific areas of language, including games, vocabulary and memory. In conclusion we relate these resources to some of the factors already noted in the earlier chapters: bi-sociation, re-framing, noticing, use of heuristics, rich and varied inputs, appeal to the senses and opportunities for imaginative engagement.
