Word Knowledge

Аннотация

A handbook is a manual, guide, or reference book designed to make a complex task clear. We turn to a handbook when we take on a new task or try to improve our performance in a familiar one. This vocabulary handbook for teachers, written for both new and experienced teachers of English as a second or foreign language, is designed to help tease apart the complex process of vocabulary learning and teaching and to provide ideas for addressing learners’ needs. Its premise is that teachers are best prepared to guide students when they themselves respect the enormous task of word learning and are aware of the factors involved in knowing a word.
