Abstract | ||
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a cognitive thinking strategy on promoting EFL secondary students’ creative reading skills. The quasi-experimental design was adopted and a pre-posttest was utilized to compare the participants’ creative reading skills. Sixty four EFL secondary students were randomly assigned to experimental (n=32) and control (n=32) groups. Creative reading skills which integrated in this research were fluency, flexibility, originality and elaboration. Each skill included some sub-skills. The researcher prepared a creative reading skills checklist to determine the appropriate creative reading skills for secondary stage students, a pre-posttest to enhance students’ comprehension, and a rubric to correct it. The results of the posttest indicated that the cognitive thinking strategy has a positive and significant influence on secondary students’ creative reading skills. Preliminary experimental results indicated that the proposed cognitive thinking strategy could be useful in developing creative reading skills. | ||
