Abstract:

Language teaching cannot be separated from cultural factors. Foreign language communication is cross-cultural communication, which has some relations with linguistic ability. As one of the important components of linguistic aptitude, grammatical sensitivity issues play an important role in the second language acquisition and English teaching. Through the exploration of Carroll's MLAT, we independently designed a set of test questions. The purpose of this study is to study the grammatical sensitivity of linguistic aptitudes and to provide theoretical support for foreign language learning and college English teaching. Our research has found that grammatical sensitivity has a significant impact on their cross-cultural communication and language learning activities among foreign-language learners who are native speakers of Chinese. After research, we can say that the means of making words, extending sentences and reading paragraphs can effectively test the grammatical sensitivity of Chinese learners. Finally, grammatical sensitivity can truly affect the outcome of language learning. However, due to the different grammar of each language, Chinese grammatical sensitivity cannot be used as an indicator to test foreign language aptitude in Chinese-speaking learners.
