This volume brings together current research and practical
innovations in the field of foreign language teaching. The
contributions are all by well-known experts in the area. More
specifically, the volume aims to give some comprehensive and
updated coverage of theory, research and practice in two of the
most challenging issues in today's English language teaching
scenarios: the development of L2 vocabulary knowledge and the
contribution of new corpus-based evidence to language teaching. The
first section of the volume presents a comprehensive overview of
relevant issues in the field of L2 vocabulary acquisition, where
surveys of the state of the art in the area combine with empirical
studies which approach the topic from the field of applied
linguistics (teaching techniques, material writing), as well as
from complementary disciplines such as semantics, phraseology and
lexicography. The second section of the book delves into the
pedagogical applications of current research in the field of
corpus-based studies. The papers collected here explore the
potential of new corpus evidence for the development of foreign
language learners' competence. The final section bridges the gap
between theory and practice by bringing together an intensely
practical collection of papers offering useful advice on how to
deal with vocabulary and/or corpora in the foreign language
classroom that are derived from teaching and research conducted at
the University of Granada (Spain) under the acronym ADELEX
(Assessing and Developing Lexis through New Technologies). Though
some papers involve reference to other languages such as French and
Spanish, this is essentially a study of corpus and lexical theory
as applied to contemporary English. The volume is backed up by an
independent, dedicated website maintained by the editors. While
web-based activities and vocabulary tests complement the printed
material for the entire volume, Section 3 From theory to
practiceA", provides systematic support.
