By encouraging students to practice various self-regulated learning strategies while studying the learning content designed by referring to Zimmerman’s self-regulated learning model and Wen’s Production-Oriented Approach via the mobile App Superstar, this study aims to promote students’ creative thinking skills in Business English writing. Students reported increased self-regulated learning ability after the experiment. It is found that there is a significant positive relationship between online self-regulated learning and creative thinking and students’ creative thinking skills are significantly improved in post-test in Business English writing.
