"Vocabulary and Writing in a First and Second Language" is based
on a large-scale empirical study. The innovative feature of the
research was that the same students were asked to do the same tasks
in both languages while reporting their thinking as they went
along. Furthermore, they had to undertake the same tasks even
though they were of very different experience, ranging from young
children at school to university students. Three areas of learners'
competencies and skills were explored: vocabulary knowledge, word
guessing strategies and writing. The authors further explore the
relationship between the skills and describe the level of
development for individual learners within the three areas. In all
cases, statistical and qualitative analyses are offered, the latter
being based on the learners' own 'think-aloud' reports. Both
researchers and teachers of language will find this in-depth
approach useful in understanding the processes of both first and
second language performance.
