Abstract

The way we learn is affected by our personality. Regarding the significant role of different personality types in language learning in general and mastering L2 grammar in particular, the present study investigated the impact of extrovert/introvert personality types of Iranian EFL learners in grammar learning. It was hypothesized that in an EFL situation, extroverted students would attain a higher proficiency in English. An additional aim was to find out whether there is a significant effect of gender differences’ extroversion/ introversion on their grammar ability. Therefore, 220 high school students took a standardized English test, completed a personality questionnaire and provided information on a bio data form. The collected data were analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Distribution was conducted for evaluating extraverts and introverts’ grammar with respect to their gender differences. The main finding was extroversion vs. introversion has no significant impact in grammar learning. Moreover, there was no significant effect of gender differences’ extraverts/introverts on their grammar proficiency. The results revealed that both extraverts and introverts have the capability to be proficient in English grammar.

外向性和内向性对伊朗英语学习者语法的影响

我们学习的方式受到我们个性的影响。鉴于不同人格类型在语言学习特别是掌握第二语言语法方面的重要作用，本研究调查了伊朗英语学习者的外向/内向人格类型对语法学习的影响。假设在英语情境下，外向型学生的英语熟练程度更高。另一个目的是找出性别差异的外向/内向是否对他们的语法能力有显著影响。因此，220名高中生参加了标准化的英语测试，完成了性格问卷，并提供了一份个人资料表格。收集的数据采用SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences)分析。通过分布来评估外向者和内向者在语法方面的性别差异。主要发现是外向型和内向型对语法学习没有显著影响。此外，性别差异对外向型/内向型学生的语法熟练程度没有显著影响。结果显示，外向者和内向者都有精通英语语法的能力。
