Details Special issue (republished as a book): This special issue contains 12 papers that examine vocabulary development in both first (L1) and second (L2) languages from theoretical and practical perspectives. Central themes include the influence of L1 knowledge on L2 vocabulary acquisition, the development and validation of innovative vocabulary assessment tools, and the effectiveness of instructional strategies that promote vocabulary growth. The collection presents comprehensive research addressing cross-linguistic interaction, instructional approaches such as spaced repetition and digital annotation, and cognitive factors including working memory. It also features contributions from leading scholars in the field, including Paul Nation and Paul Meara.
