Creativity and oral narrative task performance of English majors in Hungary


Correlations of aptitude and task performance

Since language aptitude does not seem to be strongly related to language proficiency in the case of the advanced learners comprising the sample (see section 7.3.1), it was questionable whether any relationship could be identified between language aptitude scores and task performance measures. Moreover, even if such relationships existed, it was not clear whether they would display the same pattern in the case of the cognitively less and more complex 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.
