Keynote Speaker
Researching Individual differences in second language acquisition: Where we are and where to go?
Biodata:
Prof. Zhisheng (Edward) WEN
Zhisheng (Edward) Wen, Ph.D., is a Professor of Applied Linguistics at the Department of English Language and Literature of Hong Kong Shue Yan University, Hong Kong, China. Prof. Wen has accumulated over 20 years of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching experience at the tertiary level. His broad research interests are second language acquisition, task-based language teaching and learning, psycholinguistics and cognitive sciences, translanguaging practice, discourse/genre analysis and translation studies, and world-recognized expertise in language aptitude and working memory research. Besides numerous paper publications in top journals (e.g., Language Teaching, Annual Review of Applied Linguistics, etc.), he has authored and edited over 10 books in prestigious international publishers, and guest-edited over 10 journal special issues. Recent books include "Working memory and second language learning" (Multilingual Matters, 2016), "Researching L2 task performance and pedagogy" (Benjamins, 2019), “Language aptitude: Theory, testing, research and practice” (Routledge, 2019), "Cambridge Handbook of working memory and language" (CUP, 2022), "Language aptitude theory and practice" (CUP, 2023), "Memory in science for society" (OUP, 2023), and “Cognitive individual differences in second language acquisition: Theories, assessment, and pedagogy” (De Gruyter, 2023). Prof. Wen is the co-founding editor in chief of “Individual differences in language education: An international journal”.
Abstract:
Individual differences have long been a central focus of research in second language acquisition (SLA), which started in the early 1980s and recorded exponential growth in recent years. In this keynote, I will first present an overview of L2 teaching and learning as a complex and dynamic system that implicates multiple factors including the individual differences among L2 learners. Then, I will focus on three major cognitive individual differences that are postulated to affect L2 learning and processing, namely, intelligence, foreign language aptitude, and working memory, by tracing their historical developments, theoretical models, as well as their assessment procedures, in tandem with summaries of empirical studies supporting their roles in second language acquisition domains and skills. Toward the end of the talk, I will discuss some perceivable challenges facing current individual differences research and propose personalized learning and teaching as a promising direction for future research in the digital and AI-driven era.
Keywords: Individual differences, intelligence, language aptitude, working memory, personalized learning
