Personality traits play a crucial role in our daily interactions and significantly impact our educational aspirations, particularly for second and foreign language (L2) learners. Consequently, understanding the role of personality in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) is of paramount importance, especially considering the limited research conducted in this area. Furthermore, the general findings regarding the influence of personality in L2 are inconclusive. This book's primary objective is to provide a concise and up-to-date portrayal of personality based on the Big Five model, which is accessible to individuals outside the field of psychology.
The middle section of the book delves into discussing the potential merits and drawbacks of each trait in the context of SLA, considering both formal and informal approaches, theoretical perspectives, and empirical evidence. The subsequent part presents an empirical study aimed at sensitizing the reader to the direct and indirect influences that personality can have on L2 learning.
The book concludes with a concluding chapter that aims to clarify directions for further empirical study of personality and address issues related to research methodology. By examining personality traits from various angles and perspectives, this book offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between personality and language learning, contributing to our understanding of the factors that influence language acquisition and development.
