Creativity and oral narrative task performance of English majors in Hungary


Conclusion

The aim of this section of the monograph was to provide a detailed picture of the sample examined and the research instruments used. With regard to the research instruments, the following can be concluded: since based on the results of the multitrait–multimethod analysis, the different tasks of the creativity test do not seem to measure the same construct, the use of composite scores is not justifiable. Instead of them, sub-scores of the separate tasks will be used in subsequent chapters of the monograph. A different problem arose in connection with the TOEFL-PBT scores, where sub-scores of the test seem to correlate too highly, which makes it doubtful whether they indeed measure independent skills. HUNLAT seems to be the least problematic among the tests used as the sub-scores of the different skills measured are more or less independent.

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.
