Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the goals and objectives of the Design Thinking (DT) method in language teaching. It discusses how the Design Thinking method is used to develop skills such as creative thinking, empathy, collaboration, and experiential learning in students. Through this method, students are given the opportunity to view problems from different perspectives and find new solutions, which helps enhance their communication skills and understanding of cultural differences during the language learning process. The article outlines the main goals and objectives of the Design Thinking method and its practical application in language teaching. This method incorporates not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills. The article also demonstrates effective ways for educators to apply the Design Thinking method and highlights its potential value to the education system.
