Abstract

ABSTRACT Yeci Putri Utami, 2025 : " English Teacher Creativity to Improve Students’ English Learning Achievement” Advisor : Dr. Paidi Gusmuliana, M.Pd Co-Advisor : Dr. Eka Apriani, M.Pd This study uses a mixed methods with an explanatory approach to understand the extent to which English teacher creativity contributes to improving student achievement at SDIT Rabbi Radhiyyah Sidorejo, Curup. The study explored four aspects of teacher creativity: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration, and their impact on students' interest and academic performance in English. The subjects in this study were selected using purposive sampling to identify informants, specifically English teachers who teach in classes where students have won competitions or events at certain levels. Furthermore, the sample in this study was selected using total sampling, including all students taught by these teachers, resulting in a total of 86 students. The findings indicate that teachers with higher fluency in creativity tend to create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment, positively influencing students' enthusiasm and academic outcomes. Teachers who demonstrate flexibility by adapting their teaching methods to student needs show a significant impact on student participation and comprehension. Originality in teaching strategies, such as using innovative classroom activities, enhances student engagement and motivation. Additionally, teachers who elaborate their lessons effectively contribute to deeper student understanding and retention of material. Moreover, quantitative results suggest that students in classes with highly creative teachers achieve higher English proficiency scores compared to those in less creative classrooms. The study reinforces the importance of teacher creativity in fostering student academic success and engagement in English learning. Future research should explore long-term effects of creative teaching strategies on students’ overall language development. Keywords : English teacher creativity, teacher fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration, student achievement
