The Importance of Personal Tolerance in Learning a Foreign Language

Abstract

This article examines the role of tolerance in the learning process. It also presents the results of a survey
conducted by the authors of this article to determine the degree to which tolerance influences students' mental
states and the success of learning foreign languages. The survey results revealed a high direct correlation
between the degree of personal tolerance and the degree of cognitive activity, learning motivation, acquisition
of a foreign language, and a reverse correlation with anxiety and anger levels. Based on the survey findings,
the authors conclude that personal tolerance is important for learning foreign languages. In their view, the
existence of a strong correlation between tolerance and students' mental states, which affects learning success,
indicates that it is important to pay attention to this causality when designing educational processes and
methodologies. In the educational process, the emphasis must be placed on developing and strengthening
individual tolerance.
