摘要

The dynamic and multifaceted process of bilingual language acquisition is influenced by a myriad of individual factors that interact in complex ways. This article delves into the current trends and future directions in bilingual language acquisition research, with a particular focus on the impact of individual differences on language trajectories. By examining a range of variables, including cognitive abilities, linguistic exposure, effective factors, and sociocultural contexts, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these variables intertwine to shape unique language learning paths. Through a critical review of empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, this article highlights the importance of personalized approaches to bilingual education that consider the nuanced interplay of individual factors. We discuss the implications for educational practices, policymaking, and future research directions, emphasizing the need for longitudinal studies and multidisciplinary collaborations to unravel the intricate patterns of bilingual language development. Ultimately, this work seeks to contribute to the advancement of bilingual acquisition theories and the enhancement of language learning experiences for diverse bilingual communities.
