Standard rote learning and grammar based approaches struggle to meet the functional communication needs and emotional demands of learners in 2023. This article investigates the Design-Thinking (DT), a human-centered and iterative
problem-solving framework, in Foreign Language Teaching (FLT) context. DT moves the focus from "what is taught" to "how the learner uses their experience of language," providing a route to both higher student engagement and genuine
(practical) fluency.
