Meanwhile, TOA is a prevalent phenomenon in second language learning and acquisition. The study has 38 non-English major graduate students from one of China’s double first-class universities as subjects. Moreover, it adopts quantitative method, specifically, employing Second Language Tolerance of Ambiguity Scale from Ely. As for L2 achievement, total scores of CET4 serve as the measurement. The results show that the general situation of graduate students’ level is generally in the middle and a positively significant correlation rests between TOA level and L2 achievement, namely, CET4 scores, which may shed some light on the second language learning and second language teaching.展开更多
