The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of using small learning communities on developing creative writing skills for secondary school students. 200 students were randomly chosen and divided into two groups: the experimental group (150 students - three small learning communities) and the control group (50 students) after being sure that they were equivalent. The experimental group students were trained in creative writing skills through the use of small learning communities, while the regular instruction was used with the control group. To achieve the aims of the study, the researchers designed a creative writing skills pre-post test to measure the participants' creative writing skills. It was administered to them before and after the experiment. The mean scores of the pre-post administrations of the test were treated statistically. The result of data analysis indicated that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the overall required creative writing skills. In the light of the findings of the study, the researchers recommended the use of small learning communities for developing creative writing skills in secondary stage.
