摘　　要：以某大学的298名非英语专业学生为研究对象,利用Ely的模糊容忍度调查量表(SLTAS)(1995)为主要测试工具,SPSS17.0统计软件分析得出:不同性别的模糊容忍度存在显著差异。总体上,女生的模糊容忍度明显高于男生的模糊容忍度。不同语言水平的英语学习者的模糊容忍度存在显著差异。高语言水平学习者的模糊容忍度比低语言水平学习者的模糊容忍度要高,这就要求教师应不断调整自己的教学风格以适应不同学生的学习风格。Subjects in this study were 298 non -English majors from a university in Hunan province. The questionnaire of the Second Language Tolerance of Ambiguity Scale （SLTAS） is the major instru- ment in this quantitative research. Then statistical analyses were conducted with SPSS17.0 software. Results indicate that females differ significantly from males in overall tolerance of ambiguity, with fe- males having much higher TOA than the males. High proficiency students differ significantly from low proficiency students in overall ambiguity tolerance with the former being higher. The results suggest that English teachers should constantly adjust their teaching styles to match the students＇ learning styles.
