Effect of Personality on Learning Language

Emphasis on technologies and information in improving language learning is increasing these days. It is a good strategy but it seems that we need to have a full imagine of the students and any learner before education. It will help monitoring and evaluation of language teaching and learning. One way to evaluate a person is using personality scales. There is many standard personality scales in the world of sciences. These scales are used in many fields in science and medicine to determine personality of the people and design more personality-based plans. From the other hand, there are many published articles about effect of personality on the different aspects of learning language. These two dimensions (learning language and personality) have another dimension. It is factors that influencing personality. Personality is shaped by both genetic and environmental influences. Among the most important of the latter are cultural influences. Culture is transmitted through language and the modeling of behavior when conditions permit humans to communicate through shared language, by living in the same historic period, and when they are sufficiently proximal to influence each other. For this reason determining personality has many challenging aspects and may have some conflicting areas. For example, imported personality instruments may not necessarily be comprehensive enough to reveal particular distinctive factors in specific cultures. We discuss in this article legal aspects of determining personality, effectiveness of this action and possibility of that in learning language.
