The tasks faced by schools and teachers today are significantly more difficult and present greater challenges than in the past. They require focused attention on specific aspects of learning and teaching, as well as a deepening understanding of human development and the vast potential of the human mind. Effective, accelerated, and simultaneously creative teaching and learning demand the consideration of many pieces of information and factors that stimulate this process. The concept of accelerated learning encompasses several practical approaches to the learning process, based on new knowledge about how the brain works, motivation and self-confidence, the use of various types of intelligence, and methods for retaining and recalling information. Accelerated learning offers all properly motivated and well-trained students the opportunity to achieve results that may previously have seemed beyond their reach. It helps learners identify their preferred ways of acquiring knowledge and allows them to master the skill of learning—one that stays with them for life. Accelerated learning is a system in which knowledge about the learner, the learning process, and the learning environment are integrated. Many elements of this system are already applied—often unconsciously—in the daily work of teachers, but without a coherent structure. School practice shows that the process of teaching does not always align with the process of learning. Accelerated learning, however, begins with the needs of the student, is varied and motivating, and is treated as a dynamic and engaging activity. Today’s world craves new, original ideas more than ever before, and traditional teaching, along with long-used didactic methods, does not develop students in a way that equips them to face modern challenges. So what can be done to make the teaching and learning process more creative and effective? This article presents examples of methods and techniques that stimulate creative, accelerated learning, with a particular focus on the drama method, which integrates the principles of both accelerated and creative teaching. The importance of drama will be discussed through its application in glottodidactics (language teaching and learning).
