This paper aims at investigating EFL students’ perceptions towards the effects of creative writing on reading motivation and cognitive potentials. A questionnaire was addressed to 30 EFL Master One Didactic students at Oum EL Bouagui University. The findings obtained revealed that most students have a low level of cognitive potentials and disfavour to practice reading because this last may take time and involves effort and energy. Hence, the need to engage the students into tasks and activities that motivate them to read and make them active learners became crucial for their cognitive development and overall success. For this reason, the target students agreed that creative writing may develop their motivation to read and boost their cognitive potentials as well. Consequently, engaging them into creative writing tasks would be beneficial.
