Examining the Correlation between L2 Reading Proficiency and Creative Thinking
Second language(L2)reading not only enhances learners'cognitive abilities but also expands their knowledge base,contributing to the development of creative thinking.To further explore the relationship between L2 reading and creative think-ing,this study assessed L2 reading proficiency,divergent thinking,and convergent thinking among college students at regional uni-versities in central China.The results revealed no significant correlation between L2 reading proficiency and divergent thinking but indicated a positive correlation with convergent thinking.Based on these findings,future L2 reading instruction in regional universi-ties should undergo reforms by adopting student-centered approaches,promoting extensive reading,and implementing diverse evalua-tion methods,creating a learning environment conducive to the development of divergent thinking while continuing to foster conver-gent thinking.
