Description
Understanding how vocabulary is learned is crucial for effective teaching and learning in language classrooms. This book presents the key issues that relate to vocabulary acquisition, evaluating a range of practical activities designed to boost students' vocabulary learning.
The authors explore important questions such as how many words should be targeted at a time, how often, and how much classroom time should be devoted to teaching vocabulary. They also examine the best ways to group vocabulary for effective learning and discuss the value of providing L1 translations of unknown words.
