Vocabulary knowledge is an essential factor in the development of proficiency in another language. However, English and other languages have often been taught without a clear focus on vocabulary. This has unfortunately meant that students would have had to cope with words far outstripping their ability to acquire and adequately use them, which is detrimental to the learning process. It does hence not surprise that attempts to learn another language are abandoned by learners. For this reason, it is important to understand the relationship between the lexical inventory learners are exposed to and the principles governing vocabulary acquisition in another language. This volume examines the issues of lexical availability, use of technology and vocabulary learning strategies.
