Abstract
The paper presents and analyzes the results of a detailed research of teaching written language production in primary schools in Montenegro. The aim of the research was to determine how, from the perspective of pupils, the process of teaching and learning takes place in primary schools when the creative language production of pupils is concerned. In order for pupils to be successful in the above area, it is important that teachers apply varied and meaningful activities that will prepare pupils for such an act. Therefore, during the research, by using the survey technique and questionnaire, we sought to find out pupils’ interest in the subject of mother tongue and literature, discussing how the creative writing activity, i.e. text creation, positions on that list. After that, we tried to determine what activities are particularly suitable for pupils as preparation for written language production and, finally, what actually happens in their classes, that is, whether pupils assess these exercises as useful. The hypotheses have been confirmed because the pupils in the seventh, eighth and ninth grade (third cycle), in different percentages, recognize the presence of a variety of activities offered as a useful preparation for their successful written expression. Based on the analysis of the obtained results, a number of conclusions have been drawn that can be merged into one that reads: in the phase of preparing primary school pupils for written language production, teachers apply different and purposeful activities concerning the themes and structure of written composition.
