In the realm of psychology and language acquisition, the exploration of “individual differences”—encompassing attributes such as personality traits, motivation, and language aptitude—has long been a focal point of scholarly investigation. Within this sphere, the book “Researching Creativity in Second Language Acquisition” by Ashleigh Pipes offers a fresh perspective on the role of creativity as a significant individual difference in Second Language Acquisition (SLA). Positioned against the backdrop of extensive empirical research on individual differences, this book stands out by focusing on the often overlooked aspect of creativity, which Pipes argues, holds paramount importance in SLA.
