The latest advances and trends in technology have enabled rapid development in the field of language education. Students and teachers alike now benefit from the assistance of various technological innovations, thus increasing the overall effectiveness of the curriculum. The Handbook of Research on Individual Differences in Computer-Assisted Language Learning addresses the implementation of current research methodologies within EFL and ESL classroom settings and the variety of modifications employed by language experts. Focusing on quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies, this book is an essential reference source for applied linguists, CALL researchers, language teachers, and upper-level students within the field of foreign language education.

This researcher examined the differences in learning- style preferences of 704 11- and 12-year-old female and male Taiwanese adolescents and then determined whether their learning styles correlated with their mathematic- or reading-test scores by age, gender, and SES. T-test results revealed that there were significant age differences in the learning-style preferences of 11- and 12-year-old Taiwanese students for the 12 elements, sound, temperature, design, motivation, persistent, responsible/confirming, peers/alone, authority, auditory, intake, morning/evening, and mobility. Also, there were significant gender differences among the learning-style preferences of Taiwanese students. for five of 23 learning-style variables: design, kinesthetic, intake, analytic and reflective. The results of two multiple regressions revealed significant relationships between students' achievement-test scores and their learning-style emotional stimulus, between students' achievementtest scores and their learning-style physiological stimulus, between students' achievement-test scores and gender, and between students' achievement-test scores and SES.

The idea of the ICMI Study 13 is outlined as follows: Education in any social environment is influenced in many ways by the traditions of these environments. This study brings together leading experts to research and report on mathematics education in a global context. Mathematics education faces a split phenomenon of difference and correspondence. A study attempting a comparison between mathematics education in different traditions will be helpful to understanding this phenomenon.
