Abstract
The aim of the current study was to develop the first year secondary schoolers’ creative writing skills and improve their motivation towards English. A creative writing skills checklist, a motivation scale, and a creative writing skills test were developed and validated. The experimental intervention was a successful intelligence theory based program. The participants of the current study were (62) female students who were selected from El-Zohour secondary school for girls in Ismailia. They were equally divided into two groups (Control and Experimental). A creative writing skills test and motivation scale were pre-administered. The prepared program based on the successful intelligence theory was taught. The test and scale were post-administered at the end of the program. The data were collected and statistically analyzed. The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the control and experimental groups on both the test and scale in favor of the experimental group. Results also showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the pre and post measurements of the experimental group in performance in both the creative writing test and the motivation scale in favor of the post measurement. Accordingly it was concluded that the successful intelligence theory based program had a positive effect on developing creative writing skills and motivation among secondary schoolers.
