Creativity and oral narrative task performance of English majors in Hungary


Discussion

This section contains the discussion of the fifth research question about the relationship of proficiency and task performance measures on the cognitively less and more complex tasks, the sixth research question about the relationship of language aptitude and task performance measures on the cognitively less and more complex tasks, and the seventh research question about the relationship of creativity and task performance measures on the cognitively less and more complex tasks. First, results of the correlational analyses of the task performance measures with the proficiency test results are discussed in an attempt to uncover how students’ language proficiency might be related to their performance on the two versions of the oral narrative task. Next, the links between task performance measures and language aptitude are explained, and finally I attempt to account for the findings concerning creativity and oral narrative task performance.

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.
