Vocabulary and Writing in a First and Second Language: Processes and Development

Dorte Albrechtsen and Kirsten Haastrup and Birgit Henriksen

Listening to the voices of learners as they write an essay or try to cope with unfamiliar words in a text is a luxury often reserved for researchers. This book with its data on several aspects of learner skills and vocabulary knowledge and with data from the same individuals performing similar tasks in their first and their foreign language invites readers with an interest in foreign language acquisition to follow the same learners in their efforts to cope in both languages.
