The Effect of Language Aptitude on Foreign Language Learning

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with language aptitude and its effect on the foreign language learning. The main aim is to explore the language aptitude and identify its role in foreign language learning from theoretical and empirical point of view. Based on the theoretical analysis, we identified a variable that can serve as a potential predictor of success in the foreign language learning. Data, which we collected at selected grammar schools in Prešov district, were statistically analyzed – we examined the correlation between the linguistic component of language aptitude (independent variable) and language learning success (dependent variable). The data were collected by means of testing and scaling. The result confirmed the assumed hypothesis that the language aptitude is a relevant predictor of success in foreign language learning. This result is in comparison to other studies very similar.
