Abstract:

This volume brings together seven empirical studies about aptitude-treatment
interactions (ATI), i.e., about how (second language) learners with different
aptitudes match or don’t match with different educational treatments; and
aptitude-testing interactions, i.e., about how learners with different
aptitudes perform better or worse depending on the way their knowledge and
skills are tested. The authors are all established researchers or rising stars
in the field of second language acquisition (SLA), who believe that little can
be said about the effectiveness of teaching and testing methods or techniques
without taking individual differences into account. Many of the studies
corroborate in SLA what has become a central finding in the psychological and
educational research about ATI: the more a method puts the burden of
information processing on the student, the bigger the role of the
corresponding aptitudes. The kinds of findings documented in this volume
contribute to a scientific basis for the art of language teaching that will
become increasingly useful as emerging technologies make adaptation to
individuals and groups more feasible. Originally published as special issue of
"Journal of Second Language Studies" 2:2 (2019).
