Abstract:

Internationally recognised as one of the leading texts in its field, this
volume offers a comprehensive introduction to vocabulary for language teachers
who would like to know more about the way vocabulary works. Two leading
specialists make research and theory accessible, providing the background
knowledge necessary for practitioners to make informed choices about
vocabulary teaching and testing. This second edition retains the popular
format of the first edition, and has been rewritten to take account of the
many developments in the past 20 years. There is a greater focus on the
vocabulary learning process, with new chapters on incidental learning, and
intentional learning, and a new wide-ranging discussion of formulaic language.
The book now also includes extensive treatment of word lists and vocabulary
tests, with explanations of their various strengths and limitations. Updated
further reading sections, and new Exercises for Expansion make this volume
more invaluable than ever.

Preface; 1. The nature and size of vocabulary; 2. History of vocabulary in
language teaching; 3. What does it mean to 'know' a word?; 4. Corpus insights:

6. Incidental vocabulary learning from language exposure; 7. Intentional
vocabulary learning; 8. Vocabulary in the curriculum; 9. Assessing vocabulary
knowledge; Appendices; Index
