讲座摘要：

For decades, researchers in the field of second language acquisition have examined the relationship between individual differences, such as aptitude and motivation, and second language (L2) achievement. These efforts have led to a body of empirical work that is vast and diverse in terms of settings, samples, instruments, and outcomes. This talk will attempt to make sense of this domain by examining the core relationships of interest through the lens of meta-analysis (i.e., a systematic approach to synthesizing findings across a body of empirical studies). More specifically, after situating individual differences in the context of SLA, I will present an overview of meta-analytic findings on a range of individual differences as they relate to L2 achievement. I will also discuss when and why those relations have been found to vary across different methodological and substantive features.
