The researcher employed the descriptive qualitative method. The information for this study was acquired through observation and interviews. Second-year English language study program students enrolled in Extensive Reading class, as well as the professor in charge of such class.  There were 38 students involved in this study. The data analysis demonstrated that the lecturer and students in the Extensive Reading class used the 4C competencies in the teaching and learning process. The 4C competencies stimulate students' creativity as part of the application of creative competences based on the study findings. The lecturer’s task in the classroom included asking students to come up with fresh concepts for the content being covered. Incorporating 4C competences in the EFL classroom is a forward-thinking approach that not only improves language competency but also provides students with skills and abilities critical for future success in a globalized and interconnected society.
