The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Individual Differences is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the theory, research, and pedagogy related to the influence of individual differences (ID) factors in second language acquisition (SLA). This extensive volume, comprising 32 chapters, encompasses a wide range of topics concerning learners' cognitive, conative, affective, and demographic/sociocultural variations. It delves into IDs from two distinct perspectives: one that examines how each ID variable is linked to learning behaviors, processes, and outcomes, and the other that explores how clusters of ID variables impact different domains of SLA, such as vocabulary or reading. Additionally, the book includes a section on the commonly employed research methods in ID studies, including data elicitation instruments such as surveys, interviews, and psychometric testing, as well as methods of data analysis such as structural equation modeling.

This handbook is an essential resource for second language researchers and applied linguists who are interested in examining the impact of IDs on language learning. It also provides valuable insights for educators who aim to incorporate learners' individual differences into their teaching practices to maximize the effectiveness of second language instruction. By providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the study of ID in SLA, this handbook contributes to our understanding of the diverse learners and the strategies that can be employed to enhance their language acquisition journey.
