"The study of vocabulary is a flourishing area in applied linguistics and language teaching which is creating a need for new approaches to vocabulary assessment. This volume presents a framework that expands the traditional concept of a vocabulary test to cover a range of procedures for assessing the vocabulary knowledge of second language learners. These procedures can be useful for addressing practical assessments needs, as well as providing tools for conducting research into the lexical dimension of language.
This book includes:
a comprehensive review of research related to vocabulary assessment in the fields of second language acquisition and language testing.
case studies of several well-known vocabulary measures, with a critical evaluation of how valid they are for their varied uses.
a discussion of new directions for vocabulary assessment, and in particular the contribution of computerized corpus analysis." (Book Cover)
