Defined as a combination of perseverance and passion for long-term goals, grit has been hypothesized to be as important as talent in determining the success of students, adding incremental predictive validity for achievement criteria above and beyond natural or inherent ability. In this study, we tested this hypothesis by comparing the effects of second language (L2) aptitude and L2 grit on L2 achievement. We also explored how age, L2 learning experience, and gender of the students influenced their L2 aptitude and L2 grit levels. The findings showed that L2 aptitude and L2 grit had similar, positive effects in predicting language achievement measures. Moreover, some aspects of the students’ language aptitude and L2 grit were susceptible to change as they aged and gained more L2 learning experiences, but their gender played no reliable part in this regard.

兔子和乌龟：二语学习过程中的竞赛

毅力被定义为毅力和对长期目标的热情的结合，据推测，在决定学生成功方面，毅力与天赋一样重要，为超越自然或内在能力的成就标准增加了增量预测有效性。在这项研究中，我们通过比较第二语言 (L2) 能力和 L2 毅力对 L2 成就的影响来检验这一假设。我们还探讨了学生的年龄、二语学习经历和性别如何影响他们的二语能力和二语毅力水平。研究结果表明，二语能力和二语毅力在预测语言成绩测量方面具有相似的积极影响。此外，随着年龄的增长和获得更多的二语学习经验，学生的语言能力和二语毅力的某些方面容易发生变化，
