"Traditionally been used to refer to performance on certain kinds of tests...often associated with success in school" (Lightbrown & Spada, 2013).
IQ tests that measure intelligence only measure certain kinds of intelligence. When it comes to language learning, IQ tests are not necessarily an accurate predictor of success. A higher IQ may predict better scores on written exams pertaining to grammar and vocabulary memorization, but may not have any positive or negative influence on oral communication skills in the target language. ]]> 2020-09-24 22:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/eburrow1/7tfxpw311pt22nur/wish/777741659 Language Learning Aptitude eburrow1 https://padlet.com/eburrow1/7tfxpw311pt22nur/wish/777741995 Contributing factors:

Working memory - higher capacity is important in predicting success in language learning situations.
