THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EFL LEARNERS PROFICIENCY, INTELLIGENCE, AND CREATIVITY

The Relationship between EFL Learners* Proficiency, Intelligence, and Creativity

The purpose of this study is to find out if there is any relationship between EFL learnersʹ proficiency, intelligence, and creativity. To achieve this goal, 80 Isfahan University undergraduates were selected as subjects. Several tests were administered to measure the subjectsʹ proficiency, intelligence, and creativity. Then these factors were correlated. The results showed that language proficiency correlated with intelligence, but creativity did not correlate either with proficiency or with intelligence. The findings of this research have some bearings for future research.
