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 classroom based research to identify effective learning strategies. A rich variety of practical activities and examples from real classrooms link theory to practice.
