This study aims at investigating the impact of using fishbowl strategy to enhance creative imagination in writing skill for Iraqi EFL college students. To achieve the aim of the present study , the following hypothesis has been put : There is no statistically significant differences at (á≤0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught creative imagination in writing according to Fishbowl strategy and that of the control group who is taught according to the traditional way in the post test of writing. Thus , an experiment design was adopted . The sample of the study was Purposive sample consisted of 90 students from 2nd year class\ English department \college of basic education\ University of Diyala (45 students as an experimental group which are taught writing by the use of the Fishbowl strategy and 45 students as a control group which are taught writing according to the traditional way during the academic year 2021 -2022). Meanwhile, the subjects of both groups are matched according to their age, level of parents’ education , and their scores in the writing skill at the pre-test. Writing test ( pre& post ) have been designed and the validity of the tests have been obtained by exposing them to jury members in the fields of EFL and linguistics. The reliability of the tests has been secured by using Alfa Cronbach formula found to be (0.86) which indicates high reliability. Statistical analysis of data achieved through using the t-test indicates that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups in favour of the experimental group in the post test .
The researcher concludes that using Fishbowl strategy enhances students’ creative imagination in writing , and provides them opportunities to actively develop writing skills. That enable them to locate, gather, analyze, critique and apply information in a wide range of contexts as they develop understanding and the researcher suggests to use it to make another study for other stages and other subjects .
