Canva has become a widely used digital tool in educational contexts due to its accessibility and attractive ready-made templates. However, many teachers and students use Canva only at a surface level, relying heavily on standard designs without fully exploring its creative and pedagogical potential. This presentation introduces practical ways Canva can be used within an institution and EFL classrooms, focusing on how both teachers and students can extend their skills beyond basic template use. Examples include the creation of teaching materials, promotional resources, and social media graphics at the departmental level, as well as student-generated posters, presentations, and short videos in classroom settings. By providing targeted guidance and encouraging experimentation, Canva can become a powerful tool for fostering originality, engagement, and learner autonomy. This presentation emphasizes how small shifts in training and task design can help users move from passive template selection to active content creation. Attendees will gain ideas for helping both teachers and students to efficiently produce visually engaging materials that reflect their own creativity while supporting language learning objectives.
