Product Description Among ordinary language learners, the acquisition of vocabulary has long been felt to be a crucial component of learning a foreign language. Second Language Vocabularly Acquisition has the goal of comparing the effectiveness of the direct learning of vocabulary (through memorization) and the indirect learning of vocabulary (through context); it encourages an appropriate balance between direct and indirect teaching of vocabulary in second language classrooms. The authors of these original articles present theoretical background, empirical research, and case studies focusing on a variety of modes of vocabulary acquisition. There is also an exploration of relevant pedagogical issues, including a description of practical strategies and techniques for teaching vocabulary. | ||

Words, words and more words As the title suggests this book is aimed at those interested in the aquisition of vocabulary in a second language. Readership is probably more aimed at academics, researchers, advanced students, and teachers who have a more than a superficial knowledge of this area. The books has up to date chapters from some of leading L2 vocabulary researchers and very helpful commentary from the editors. It is likely that some chapters will be of more interest to individuals than others, as often is the case with edited volumes. Buy it ! | ||
