[英文摘要] :
The study was conducted to investigate how students’ multiple intelligences were related to their
tolerance of ambiguity and English proficiency. Subjects were 173 English major students in a
private university in northern Taiwan, including 49 males and 124 females. They helped to fill out
questionnaires of Multiple Intelligences (MI) (Gardner, 1983) and Second Language Tolerance of
Ambiguity Scale (SLTAS) (Ely, 1995). In addition, students’ English scores and English levels of
Taiwan College Entrance Exam were used as their English proficiency. All available data received
from the returned questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics derived
from SPSS 17. The results revealed that a correlation among students’ multiple intelligences,
tolerance of ambiguity, and their English proficiency did exist. In addition, by using t-test, findings
showed that genders made a difference in students’ multiple intelligences, tolerance of ambiguity,
and English proficiency as well. Furthermore, implications derived from the study were provided
for more effective English teaching and learning.
