Abstract

This paper investigates the role of language aptitude as a cognitive vari- able in the success or failure of foreign language learning. Recent studies of unsuccessful learners are discussed from this point of view, and a brief reference is made to the different conceptualizations of language aptitude. It is followed by the discussion of the role of aptitude in empirical qualitative studies as in recent years, researchers have called for qualitative investigative methods in the investigation of influential variables believed to be responsible for the differences between successful and unsuccessful language learners.
