| Being Linguistically Creative |
A dignifying plea for TESOLers by Francisco Gomes de Matos, a TESOLer and peace linguist. President of the Board, ABA Global Education, Recife, Brazil. Linguistically creative every language user can be. Being linguistically creative, a beautiful world we can see. In an everyday interaction there is deep creativity when the messages exchanged dignify you and me. Let`s enhance and elevate our linguistic creativity by nurturing and using it for the good of Humanity.
