This study investigated the degree to which students' personality characteristics influence their attitudes toward various learning activities in the language classroom. The research study was conducted with a group of 125 students of Spanish at the university level. The hypotheses of the study were that: 1) Language Class Risktaking positively affects attitudes toward activities involving relatively free language use; 2) Language Class Sociability positively affects attitudes toward activities involving the sharing of ideas or “performing;” and 3) Language Class Risktaking and Language Class Sociability negatively affect attitudes toward highly‐structured grammar practice. Multiple regression analysis provided partial confirmation of the hypotheses. The findings suggest the importance of taking personality into consideration in language instruction
