Researching Vocabulary through a Word Knowledge Framework. Word Associations and Verbal Suffixes.
Schmitt, Norbert; Meara, Paul
Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v19 n1 p17-36 Mar 1997
English-as-a-Second-Language students in Japan were tested at the beginning and the end of the school year to examine changes in word associations and grammatical suffix knowledge. Results showed an average vocabulary gain of 330 words, a poor knowledge of the allowable suffixes for the verbs learned, and 19 to 25 percentage points more receptive knowledge than productive knowledge.
