ABSTRACT: This paper is a study of effects of non-English-majored graduates’ tolerance of ambiguity (TA) on their scores of College English Test grade 6. The subjects for this study are 115 non-English-majored graduates from Yangtze University. The results in this study showed that the non-English-majored graduates’ TA was varied and their TA distributed normally; their TA was significantly correlated with their scores in listening and their total scores; there was a weak positive correlation between their TA and their scores in reading; but their scores in writing were not significantly correlated with their TA. The author hopes that the results and analyses in the paper will be a bit helpful to foreign language teaching and learning in China.
