Effects of creative writing activities on students’ achievement in
writing, writing dispositions and attitude to English.
This experimental study investigates the effects of using creative writing activities on 7th grade students’ achievement in writing
skill, writing dispositions and their attitude to English. One group pre and post test design was used in the study. The study was
conducted during four weeks in 2012- 2013 academic year in an elementary school in the city centre of Denizli, Turkey.
The results of the study show that the application of creative writing activities is effective in increasing 7th grade
students’ writing achievement in English. On the other hand, it is also found that using creative writing activities
has a positive effect on writing dispositions of 7th grade students. Based on these results, it can be suggested that
creative writing activities can be used in 7th grade English course to increase students’ achievement in writing skill
and let them to write more. But the mean score obtained from attitude scale of the 7th grade students who are
attending English course has decreased after the experiment. But this change isn’t statistically significant. However,
it can be said that studying only writing skill may not affect attitude to a course so easily.
