Joe, Angela

Second Language Research, v11 n2 p149-58 Jun 1995

This case study investigated the vocabulary knowledge gains made by an adult learner of English as a result of performing a read and tell task. It found that the quality of vocabulary use, or a higher level of generation, appeared to have had a significant effect on vocabulary acquisition. (15 references) (MDM)
