The education system is evolving to emphasize creativity, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Design Thinking (DT), originally developed for design and manufacturing, has found its place in education, fostering active learning through empathy, collaboration, and experiential problem-solving. This article explores the application of Design Thinking in language teaching, highlighting its core objectives: enhancing creativity, building empathy, fostering collaboration, and promoting experiential learning. DT encourages students to analyze problems, develop solutions, create prototypes, and refine their work through feedback. The method not only improves communication skills and cultural awareness but also prepares students to think critically and engage practically with language. While challenges exist in implementation, Design Thinking presents a transformative approach to modern pedagogy, makingthe learning process more dynamicand effective. Keywords: Design Thinking, creative learning, language teaching, problem-solving, experiential learning, collaboration, empathy, communication skills, education innovation, active learning.
