Abstract:

This volume brings together a collection of chapters focused on the learning,
testing, and researching of L2 vocabulary by leading international researchers
including Paul Nation, Batia Laufer, Frank Boers, Elke Peters, Ana
Pellicer-Sánchez, Anna Siyanova-Chanturia, and Stuart Webb. Questions that are
examined include: Is it useful to read a book to learn vocabulary? Which types
of input encountered outside of the classroom contribute most to vocabulary
knowledge? What are the most useful words to learn to understand the academic
spoken language in mathematics, biology, and engineering lectures? Does
writing words contribute to vocabulary learning? What should a test measuring
the skill of guessing from context consist of? Should loan words be included
in vocabulary tests? How should we evaluate vocabulary learning that occurs
through watching captioned video? How has eye-tracking been used in vocabulary
research? Together, the chapters in this volume highlight innovation in
vocabulary studies and many directions for researching, testing, and learning
words. Originally published as special issue of "ITL – International Journal
of Applied Linguistics" 169:1 (2018)
