Stories students tell

Creativity and oral narrative task performance of English majors in Hungary


Conclusion

In conclusion, it can be stated that since tasks seem to play an important role in language teaching and testing, studying their features and characteristics and the effects these have on language performance is an important research endeavour. A great deal of work has been undertaken since the authors who published the first articles shared their findings in connection with oral narrative tasks. Using Robinson’s (2001c, 2005b, 2007a, 2015) Triadic Componential Framework to summarize the findings, the following conclusions can be drawn.

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.
