Description

Focus on Vocabulary Learning explores teaching vocabulary to second and foreign language learners aged 5–18. It describes the considerable challenges of learning the vocabulary of a new language from a range of perspectives, and aims to equip teachers with practical solutions to meet these challenges. This book provides corpus-informed insights into teaching the vocabulary that is most useful to learners, and examines classroombased research to identify effective learning strategies. A rich variety of practical activities and examples from real classrooms link theory to practice. ‘Focus on Vocabulary Learning provides valuable guidance on a wide range of topics related to vocabulary teaching and learning in school contexts. The connections between current research findings and useful classroom strategies are very helpful. This engaging and accessible book should become an excellent resource for teachers.’ Stuart Webb, Professor of Applied Linguistics, University of Western Ontario
