V. FACTORS THAT HAVE BEEN LINKED TO IDS IN SLA

A. Learner-Internal Factors: Ability

Language Learning Aptitude

Gardner (2006) writes about ''ability'' (both intelligence and language aptitude) as one of the two primary ID variables involved in language learning (the other one being motivation). Gardner predicts that learners with higher levels of ability will be more successful language learners (2006, p. 241). For neurobiologists, variation in abilities and aptitudes are caused by differences in physical and chemical structures of the brain (Schumann, 2004, p. 9).
