Abstract EN

This paper investigates the impact of a cognitive linguistic ability that referred to as „linguistic intelligence‟ on foreign language learning.

The study addresses the relationship between two predicted aspects of linguistic intelligence, namely language aptitude and verbal reasoning, and foreign language learning achievement.

A measure of each of the two aforementioned capacities was, in effect, administered to a sample of sixty subjects majoring in English at University of Constantine 1.

Correlations were made between the obtained scores in these measures as well as between the score of each measure and the students‟ language learning achievement.

The results substantiated significant results between all the variables.

Abstract FRE

La présente étude explore la relation entre un type d'intelligence qui s‟appel « l‟intelligence linguistique » et la réalisation de la langue étrangère.

Cette capacité cognitive elle-même a été supposé d‟inclure deux autres capacités: aptitude linguistique et raisonnement verbal.

De ce fait, deux tests de ces capacités cognitives ont été remis à un échantillon de 60 étudiants de première année, apprenant l'Anglais à l'université de Constantine 1.

Des corrélations ont été établies entre les scores obtenus dans ces tests ainsi que entre le score de chaque capacité cognitive et le score de la réalisation linguistique.

Les résultats montrent des relations significatives entre tous les variables.
