The interaction between Iranian EFL learnersʹʹ motivation, creativity and their English achievement scores

The aim of this study was to examine whether psychological parameters of creativity and motivation play any significant role in Iranian EFL learners achievement scores. To this end, under graduate participants (N=91) were asked to complete creativity (Torrance, 1990) and motivation (Attitude Motivation Test Battery) tests which were compared with their language achievement tests scores. The results showed that the creativity has a close relationship with the learnersʹ performance, while there was no significant relationship between motivation and studentʹs performance. Also, there was an attempt to find out if there is any relationship between the independent variables, (creativity and motivation). The results rejected the relationship between these two variables.
