Summary/Abstract: This article aims to trace the role of improvisational spaces in school education. The paper examines the concept of improvisation in the context of language teaching and learning, and considers related notions such as spontaneity, interpretation, and creativity. It argues that successful language learning is inconceivable without the flexible symbiosis of the structural parameters of the educational environment and creative improvisation, which is a function of diligently mastered knowledge and skills.
