摘要：AbstractThe paper focuses on non-language-majoring students’ communicative competence development, taking into account ambiguity tolerance as an explanatory factor of foreign language learning. This study was aimed at exploring possible relationships between engineering students’ ambiguity tolerance and their communicative competence in English as a foreign language. The study findings revealed that this parameter of personal potential determines rather the qualitative nature of students’ communicative competence development. In addition, it was found that some other variables of the students’ personal potential could contribute to the process under study, namely commitment, challenge, persistence, orientation to present and self-worth.
