Details This manuscript is the introduction to a special issue of the academic journal Languages, which includes contributions from leading scholars in vocabulary research such as Nation, Meara, and Laufer. The aim of this special issue is to bridge theory and practice in vocabulary acquisition for both first language (L1) and second language (L2) development. It covers a wide range of topics, including lexical bundles, CEFR-aligned vocabulary assessment, vocabulary needs in English-medium instruction (EMI), and the use of digital tools, among others.
