Creativity and oral narrative task performance of English majors in Hungary


Tasks in L2 learning

Having reviewed the literature on language aptitude and creativity variables, I will now continue with the examination of the oral narrative task, which is another important concept in my investigation. Before narrowing the discussion down to oral narrative tasks, a brief overview of the changes that have taken place in language instruction will be given, as these might shed light on the reasons for the recent prominence of tasks. The section on task-based instruction will be followed by a detailed discussion of the tasks that are used in language teaching in general, including their definitional problems, different task types, and task characteristics.

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.
