The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) is a widely used test of receptive vocabulary, but no researchers to date have examined the performance of low-educated, low-literate L2 adults, or compared these individuals' performances to their more highly educated peers.

The pace at which new words are acquired is influenced by the degree of engagement with them on the part of the learner.

The majority of Cognitive Linguists' proposals for vocabulary teaching aim at helping learners…
