Historical trends in second language vocabulary instruction / Cheryl Boyd Zimmerman -- The lexical plight in second language reading : words you don't know, words you think you know, and words you can't guess / Batia Laufer -- Orthographic knowledge in L2 lexical processing : a cross-linguistic perspective / Keiko Koda -- Vocabulary and comprehension : two portraits / Kate Parry -- Oral production of vocabulary : a case study / Roann Altman -- Reading and vocabulary development in a second language : a case study / William Grabe and Fredricka L. Stoller -- Tracking the acquisition of L2 vocabulary : the Keki language experiment / Lynne Yang -- Rare words, complex lexical units and the advanced learner / Pierre J.L. Arnaud and Sandra J. Savignon -- Vocabulary enhancement activities and reading for meaning in second language vocabulary acquisition / T. Sima Paribakht and Marjorie Wesche -- Mnemonic methods in foreign language vocabulary learning : theoretical considerations and pedagogical implications / Jan Hulstijn -- L2 vocabulary acquisition through extensive reading / James Coady -- Teaching vocabulary / Paul Nation and Jonathan Newton -- Pedagogical implications of the lexical approach / Michael Lewis -- L2 vocabulary acquisition : a synthesis of the research / James Coady.
Summary: 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.
