讲座简介：
Empirical investigations into the role of individual differences (ID) have always represented one of the most vibrant lines of inquiry in research into second language acquisition (SLA) and researchers have constantly been on the lookout for novel theoretical paradigms, methodological solutions and new constructs (e.g., Dörnyei, 2005; Dörnyei & Ryan, 2015; Ellis, 2008; Li, Hiver, & Papi, 2022; Pawlak, 2020, 2021). Not surprisingly, research into IDs has also figured prominently in the domain of computer assisted language learning (CALL) but it has been lagging behind SLA in many respects.
The talk provides an overview of the latest theoretical developments in research on IDs in SLA as well as methodological considerations that are crucial when researching individual variation, with special emphasis on data-collection procedures that are most prominent in CALL. It then goes on to synthesize the body of empirical evidence concerning the role of individual difference factors in CALL, singling out existing gaps, methodological problems and areas in need of investigation. Finally, some guidelines are provided on how empirical studies of ID factors in CALL can be improved by incorporating the latest developments from the broader field of SLA.
