English is a second language in Indonesia, so an English teacher needs to be more creative in understanding the character of his students to achieve learning objectives. This study explores teachers’ creativity with technologies that improve fashion students’ English language learning ability in higher education. A qualitative approach and a case study method were used to gain deep information about the research purpose. Thirty-one students and five teachers were involved in describing and explaining teacher’s creativity with technologies used to improve the learning ability of the English language from their viewpoints. The data were collected using open-ended interviews and observation. This study found that teachers’ creativity with technologies in their teaching strategy benefited students. Teachers combined it through games, providing students with a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere in the classroom. Besides, students were given such unique assignments as creating vlogs related to the topic in the class or recording promotional videos about advertising, especially about fashion. Eventually, it can be concluded that teachers’ creativity with technologies in the English language subject in the Fashion Department could improve students’ learning ability. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
