Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In recent decades, as an important factor in second language acquisition (SLA), language aptitude has attracted more and more attention. Many scholars such as John Carroll, Skehan, Bialystok and Frohlich have proved that language aptitude has great impact on second language acquisition and can predict language learning effect. Using Modern Language Aptitude Test (MLAT), this paper mainly analyzes the influence of language aptitude on EFL learners in second language acquisition. Therefore, the author chooses some EFL students at the research subject, and adopts some methods (eg: interview) to survey their basic situation of foreign language learning. After that, the data collected are analyzed by SPSS, a statistical software. From those data, we learn about how language aptitude influences foreign language learning in the process of second language acquisition. Based on these results, the author finds out the relationship between language aptitude and teaching and then proposes several suggestions on how to teach efficiently when facing EFL learners.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
