Synopsis

How are words and idioms organized in a language? How are they learnt and stored? Vocabulary explains the ways in which the various theories relating to these questions have been applied in both teaching and reference materials. A wide range of examples illustrate the text, and will help readers to evaluate and adapt the vocabulary materials they use in their own classrooms.

About this title

Review:

'There is much food for thought throughout, practising language teachers will undoubtedly find Section Three of most immediate value. This book is a worthwhile addition to the Cambridge Language Teaching Library and will attract a wide readership among vocabulary researchers and language teachers.' EA Journal

'This collection provides a thought provoking and valuable update on the state of vocabulary as it is currently viewed and is an important contribution to the field.' NZ Studies in Applied Linguistics

Book Description:

This volume examines what vocabulary is and how it behaves, how the mind learns vocabulary and uses it, and pedagogical issues of teaching and testing L2 vocabulary.
