Teachers who find the task of teaching English vocabulary a little
daunting are not alone! This book presents important issues from recent
vocabulary research and theory so that teachers may approach teaching
vocabulary in a principled, thoughtful way. Topics covered are
understanding vocabulary, importance of vocabulary, relevant research
findings, students' vocabulary levels, and teaching vocabulary
effectively. This revised volume contains two new chapters: Technology
and Online Resources for Vocabulary Learning and Teaching and Using Word
Lists in Vocabulary Teaching. New references and updated research, as
well as new web links, activities, charts, and a detailed lesson plan
for teachers are also included. The book is practical for English
language teachers in any context and provides helpful reflections.
