Abstract:

Words are the building blocks of human communication and provide a strong
foundation for the development of skilled language production and
comprehension. Learning words in a language other than one's own requires
long-term commitment and substantial engagement. This research monograph
offers a summary of how learners of additional languages acquire vocabulary in
instructed foreign language contexts and in English for Academic Purposes
programs in the target language environment. After a thorough introduction of
the most important constructs in the first chapter, the book provides a
comprehensive description of the processes of longitudinal development in
learners' growth of vocabulary size and depth of word knowledge. In the second
half, the authors make novel connections between the fields of second language
acquisition and vocabulary research. They then show how individual differences
between learners can influence the processes and outcomes of vocabulary
learning. The book concludes with evidence-based practical guidance to
language teachers on how to enhance their students' lexical knowledge.
