Creativity and oral narrative task performance of English majors in Hungary


Comparative analysis

Having analysed the tasks separately in detail in the previous section, I wish to shed light on some differences between the task variants with the help of a comparative analysis of the tasks along the variables discussed above. Although it would have been possible to use statistical tests (one-way ANOVA) for the comparison of the different task types, generalizations would have been impossible to draw on the basis of these tests because of the small sample sizes; therefore, the interpretations offered are based on eyeballing the results only.

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.
