Creativity and oral narrative task performance of English majors in Hungary


Results

This section first presents results of the correlational analyses concerning students’ performance on the oral narrative tasks in relation to their level of language proficiency. This is followed by further correlational analyses between performance measures, such as accuracy, complexity (syntactic and lexical), and fluency, and the ID constructs investigated in this study: language aptitude and creativity. Relationships are explored in the case of both the cognitively less and more complex oral narrative tasks.

This monograph presents research conducted in connection with the relationships between individual difference variables, like creativity and language aptitude, and the oral narrative task performance of first year English major university students. Changes in language instruction that involve greater reliance on learners' creativity imply that researching creativity as a potentially important individual variable should be imminent. The prominence of tasks in the classroom and in tests suggests that tasks and their decisive features leading to differences in task performance should also be investigated. The findings of the monograph contribute to a deeper understanding of how different individual differences contribute to oral narrative task performance on the one hand, and on the other, they shed light on the differential effects of task complexity. Therefore, the monograph might be of interest for researchers, course book writers and practising teachers alike.
