Relationships among second language proficiency, foreign language aptitude, and intelligence: A structural equation modeling approach. - 217 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Los Angeles, 1991.

The present study investigated the relationships among measures of second language proficiency (SLP), foreign language aptitude, and two types of intelligence (verbal intelligence and reasoning). There were two objectives: (1) to examine the factor structure of several different SLP test scores; and (2) to investigate the relationship between a general SLP factor (G-SLP) and a hypothetical general cognitive factor (G-COG) that was assumed to influence foreign language aptitude, verbal intelligence, and reasoning. Several competing hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Subjects consisted of 160 Japanese students from universities ranked in the top 50% in Japan. Protocol data of test-taking processes from a small sample of subjects were also analyzed to help interpret the results of the statistical analyses.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The present study investigated the relationships among measures of second language proficiency (SLP), foreign language aptitude, and two types of intelligence (verbal intelligence and reasoning). There were two objectives: (1) to examine the factor structure of several different SLP test scores; and (2) to investigate the relationship between a general SLP factor (G-SLP) and a hypothetical general cognitive factor (G-COG) that was assumed to influence foreign language aptitude, verbal intelligence, and reasoning. Several competing hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Subjects consisted of 160 Japanese students from universities ranked in the top 50% in Japan. Protocol data of test-taking processes from a small sample of subjects were also analyzed to help interpret the results of the statistical analyses.
520 $a The results supported two models of SLP: one in which several specific trait factors were highly correlated with each other, and another in which these specific trait factors were connected to a higher-order G-SLP factor. Because there were only three of Oller's (1981, 1983a, 1983b, 1983c) hypotheses that the general SLP factor forms the center of general cognitive abilities were disconfirmed. More than half the G-SLP variance (58%) could not be explained by the G-COG factor.
520 $a The protocol analysis provided important information that was not captured by the product-oriented statistical analyses. The analysis helped interpret the relations among factors and variables found in both the exploratory factor analyses and the structural equation analyses. It also revealed covert differences in information processing between the high SLP group and the low SLP group. The high SLP group differed from the low SLP group in terms of assessment, planning, and execution processes of problem solving. Possible implications of these findings and suggestions for further studies are discussed.
