Creativity and oral narrative task performance of English majors in Hungary


Discussion

This section contains the discussion of the second research question, concerning the main differences in students’ output on the two oral narrative tasks characterised by different levels of cognitive complexity. First, comparison of the two variants of each task were evaluated. Having established the equivalence of the two versions of each task type, the output of students on the two variants were analysed jointly here and in subsequent chapters as well. Next, the separate analyses of the less and more complex oral narrative task types followed, while the chapter is concluded by the discussion of participants’ results on the two oral narrative task types.

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.
