| Description: |
International scholars and researchers present cutting edge contributions on the significance of vocabulary in current thinking on first and second language acquisition in the school and at home. By pursuing common themes across first and second language and bilingual contexts, the editors offer a collection that tackles the most important issues. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume presents recent original research on vocabulary that explores common themes and current issues in both first and second language over a wide range of ages and stages. A key feature is that, in every case, the issues have implications for educational practice and policy. These include preparation for the academic language of school; developing foundations for literacy' teaching and learning first and second language vocabulary in the classroom; language dominance and vocabulary knowledge; the relationship between L2 lexical learning and the acquisition of morphosyntax; the impact of studying abroad; predicting academic success and failure; and language assessment in educational research and summative examinations. A variety of contexts is included. Beginning in the home with an analysis of first language parental language input, the chapters move through the early pre-school years into mainstream schools, bilingual classrooms and bilingual adult communities and into foreign language teaching and learning and academic success at school and higher education. |
