Learning Vocabulary Strategically in a Study Abroad Context
This book focuses on case studies of vocabulary strategy use and presents an in-depth account of the vocabulary learning experiences of Chinese students in the UK. It challenges the view that vocabulary strategies result only from learners’ cognitive choices, and provides insightful analysis of the interplay between learner characteristics, agency and context in the process of strategic learning. The author makes a strong case for using qualitative methodologies to examine the dynamic, complex and contextually situated nature of strategic vocabulary learning.

This book will appeal to students and scholars of second language acquisition, vocabulary and applied linguistics.

This book provides important inputs to language teachers and educators on the need...
