Tolerance of Ambiguity and Use of Second Language Strategies.

Ely, Christopher M.

Foreign Language Annals, v22 n5 p437-45 Oct 1989

Analysis of second- and third-year college Spanish students' responses to the scale indicated that their tolerance of ambiguity, strength of motivation, attitude, and concern for grade influenced their use of various second language learning strategies.
