Ramin Akbari's search for intelligence in SLA

[Bella Kotik]

Dear Funknets
I agree with Rami that to take into account individual differences in SLA is
very important. But how practical is study of intelligence in this context?
especially taking into consideration the discussion about definitions and
approaches? What do you think about learning styles and memory types as
components of individuality in SLA, which is possible to operationalise in
teaching techniques? What aspects of individuality would you suggest as most
promissing for further applications?
Best wishes
