Item Testing Creativity in the Activities of the Writing Sections of the Algerian EFL Textbook Getting Through: An Evaluation(University Mouloud Mammeri of Tizi-Ouzou, 2016-09) Challal, Amel; Djabali, KatiaThis dissertation dealt with the evaluation of the writing activities of the writing sections of the Algerian secondary school EFL textbook Getting Through. In more precise terms, our research aimed at figuring out whether the evaluated corpus stresses creativity or not. To attain such an objective, we relied on Quellmalz’ Taxonomy (1987) of thinking skills (lower and higher order thinking skills). In addition, a mixed method approach integrating both quantitative and qualitative methods was used. Moreover, for the sake of interpreting and discussing the results, our investigation employed qualitative content analysis. Our results indicate that creativity is not emphasized in the activities we evaluated. Indeed, the percentage of creativity is only 39.68%, whereas the rate of “no creativity” is 60.32%. This means that the activities which do not require creativity are given more importance than those which do. Finally, a set of recommendations have been provided in order to ameliorate the part of the textbook we evaluated.
