 note = {This article reports the results of a preliminary study on tolerance of ambiguity in second language acquisition. The subjects for the research project were all perspective ESL instructors and after in-depth interviews which assessed communicative competence were administered Ely's (1995) tolerance of ambiguity in second language acquisition scale. The results of the study did not show a general preference for either high or low tolerance of ambiguity. The data, however, did show an acute need for learning strategy instruction and overall teacher training. Furthermore, a relationship between travel to an English speaking country and communicative competence emerged that could affect tolerance of ambiguity in second language acquisition.},
