The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and
Individual Differences provides a thorough, in-depth discussion of
the theory, research, and pedagogy pertaining to the role
individual difference (ID) factors play in second language
acquisition (SLA). It goes beyond the traditional repertoire and
includes 32 chapters covering a full spectrum of topics on
learners' cognitive, conative, affective, and
demographic/sociocultural variation. The volume examines IDs from
two perspectives: one is how each ID variable is associated with
learning behaviors, processes, and outcomes; the other is how each
domain of SLA, such as vocabulary or reading, is affected by
clusters of ID variables. The volume also includes a section on the
common methods used in ID research, including data elicitation
instruments such as surveys, interviews, and psychometric testing,
as well as methods of data analysis such as structural equation
modeling. The book is a must-read for any second language
researcher or applied linguist interested in investigating the
effects of IDs on language learning, and for any educator
interested in taking account of learners' individual differences to
maximize the effects of second language instruction.
