The Vocabulary-Learning Strategies of Foreign-Language Students.

Lawson, Michael J.; Hodben, Donald

Language Learning, v46 n1 p101-35 Mar 1996

Examines the behavior of university students of Italian in Australia as they study the meanings of new Italian words. Repetition of the new words and their meanings was the primary learning strategy employed. Results indicate a need to distinguish between the use of context for "generation" of a new word and the use of context for acquisition of the meaning. (44 references) (Author/CK)
