摘要
Foreign language reading comprehension helps the individual to recognize language structure and perceive the cultural specificities of the target while encountering ambiguities. To what extent an individual tolerates the ambiguity, on the one hand, affects text understanding as well as the whole educational process, and, on the other hand, the educational process helps them to tolerate ambiguity. The aim of the paper is to point out the importance of tolerance of ambiguity in the educational context of developing reading comprehension in a foreign language. In our research we focus on the correlations of foreign language reading comprehension and the tolerance of ambiguity, and its different sub-factors, such as tolerance of novelty, complexity and insolubility. The research was carried out in different parts of Slovakia with 305 students of secondary vocational schools. The findings have shown that ambiguity, novelty and complexity are closely linked to success in reading comprehension.
