Abstract:

This book examines the role of interlocutors and their individual differences
(IDs) in second language (L2) development from four theoretical lenses: the
cognitive-interactionist approach, sociocultural theory, the variationist
approach, and complex dynamic systems theory. A theoretical overview to each
approach is written by a preeminent scholar in the framework, and each
overview is followed by an empirical study that demonstrates how interlocutor
IDs can be fruitfully researched within that framework. To maximize
readability and impact, the chapters follow common organizing questions,
inviting the engagement of L2 researchers, students, and teachers alike.

Collectively, the chapters in the current volume initiate a cohesive
discussion of the theoretical roles of the interlocutor within these four
popular approaches to SLA; illustrate how interlocutor IDs influence L2
opportunities and/or development; present innovative, original empirical
research on interlocutors and their IDs within each approach; and provide
theoretical, empirical, and methodological guidance for future research on
interlocutors and their IDs. A powerful contribution of this volume,
highlighted in the concluding chapter’s synthesis, is the common call across
all four approaches for the irrefutable role and need for research on
interlocutors and their IDs. The volume also demonstrates how, despite
theoretical and methodological differences, the four approaches are advancing
congruently toward a more robust understanding of the multifaceted and dynamic
nature of all interlocutors and their IDs, and thus toward a more complete and
accurate picture of their influence on L2 development.
