يعزو البعض نجاح تعلم اللغة إلى الموهبة الفطرية الفردية غير القابلة للتغيير، بينما يعتقد آخرون أن بالإمكان تحسين القدرة على تعلم اللغة. يهدف هذا البحث التطبيقي والميداني إلى وصف المكونات الثلاث بفروعها الثمانية عشر للقائمة العقلية اللغوية و(المعتقدات الثابتة والنمائية في المجالات الثلاثة: الذكاء اللغوي والكفاءة والتجاوب السني في اكتساب اللغة الثانية) لدى طلاب اللغة العربية الراشدين. ودراسة العلاقة بين المتغيرات الأربعة (العمر والجنس ومستوى اللغة وتعدد اللغات «كمية المعرفة باللغات الآخرى») والمتغيرات العقلية اللغوية للمتعلمين لدى هؤلاء الطلاب. المجتمع الإحصائي لهذه الدراسة هو جميع متعلمي اللغة الراشدين في معهد إيران للغات؛ تألفت العينة الإحصائية من 103 طالب كانوا يتعلمون اللغة العربية في المستويات: التمهيدي، المتوسط والمتقدم. تم استخدام استبيان لو ونولز (2017ب) المعياري لقائمة العقليات اللغوية (LMI) كأدوات لجمع البيانات والمعطيات حيث اختيرت أسئلة هذا الاستبيان على أساس مقياس ليكرت للتحليل الإحصائي وأخذ اختبارات بارامترية ولابارامترية متعددة وذلك بواسطة (برنامج SPSS إصدار26). تظهر نتائج هذه الدراسة أنه لا توجد علاقة ذات دلالة بين العمر وأي من مكونات المعتقدات الثابتة والنمائية.غير أن هناك علاقة بين المتغيرات الثلاثة (الجنس، مستوى اللغة، والمعرفة باللغات الأخرى «تعدد اللغات») والمعتقدات الثابتة والنمائية؛ كذلك وجود ارتباط مباشر بين مستوى اللغة الأعلى وعدد اللغات المكتسبة من جهة والمعتقدات االنمائية من جهة أخرى.

Some people attribute successful language learning to an innate and invariable aptitude while others believe that the ability to learn a language can be improved. The present paper, which is applied and field research in nature, aims to describe the 18 components involved in Language Mindsets Inventory (containing entity and incremental beliefs in three areas of language intelligence, empowerment/aptitude and age sensitivity in learning a second language) in adult Arabic learners studying at Iran Language Institute (ILI) and investigates the relationship among four variables of age, gender, language level and multilingualism (their familiarity with other languages) and the participants’ language mindsets. The statistical population of this study consisted all adult language learners of ILI from which a statistical sample comprised of 103 Arabic students was extracted who were learning Arabic at the elementary, intermediate and advanced levels. The data collection tool of this research was the standard questionnaire of Language Mindsets Inventory (LMI), proposed by Lou and Noels (2017b), in which the items are designed based on the Likert scale. For the statistical analysis, SPSS software version 26 and various parametric and non-parametric tests were employed. The findings of the present research indicated that there was no significant t relationship between age and none of the components of entity and incremental beliefs. However, there was a relationship among three variables of age, gender, and familiarity with other languages with entity and incremental beliefs. Moreover, higher language levels and the number of languages learned were found to have a direct relationship with incremental beliefs.
