Learning Vocabulary in Another Language provides a detailed survey of research and theory on the teaching and learning of vocabulary with the aim of providing pedagogical suggestions for both teachers and learners. It contains descriptions of numerous vocabulary learning strategies that are justified and supported by reference to experimental research, case studies, and teaching experience. The book also describes what vocabulary learners need to know to be effective language users. The book shows that by taking a systematic approach to vocabulary learning, teachers can make the best use of class time and help learners get the best return for their learning effort. This book will quickly establish itself as the point of reference for future vocabulary work for the next decade.
