《学术之光文库：英语学习者个体差异动态系统研究》是二语习得领域中的一本实证研究性专著，也是教育部人文社科基金项目的研究成果。《学术之光文库：英语学习者个体差异动态系统研究》主要从动态系统理论的视角探讨了学习策略、学习观念、学习风格、学能、动机等八个主要的个体差异因素的动态互动关系以及对学习成绩的综合性影响，讨论了个体差异动态互动机制对我国外语教学和外语学习的启示。

《学术之光文库：英语学习者个体差异动态系统研究》选取了学习策略、学习观念、学习风格、学能、动机等八个主要的个体差异因素，从动态系统理论的视角，运用调查问卷、测试、学习日记和访谈等数据采集方式对来自于北京高校的非英语专业学生开展了为期一学年的跟踪研究，全面考察了八个变量的动态变化以及对学习成就的影响，研究了它们之间的互动关系，并尝试建立一个动态系统理论视角下的学习者个体差异模型。
　　《学术之光文库：英语学习者个体差异动态系统研究》对学习者个体差异动态系统的互动规律进行了初步的探讨，对我们运用动态系统理论的思想研究个体差异问题具有一定的借鉴和启发意义，有助于拓宽个体差异的研究思路，也为在这一领域继续开展深人研究奠定了一定的基础。
