Folse breaks down the teaching of second language vocabulary into eight commonly held myths. In debunking each myth, he introduces the myth with a story based on his 25 years of teaching experience (in the United States and abroad), continues with a presentation of what empirical research has shown on the topic, and finishes with a list of what teachers can do in their classrooms to facilitate true vocabulary acquisition.The goal of Vocabulary Myths is to foster a paradigm shift that correctly views vocabulary as fundamental in any second language learning process and demonstrates that research supports this goal-that in fact there is a wealth of empirical evidence to support these views. In addition, an important theme is that teachers have overestimated how much vocabulary students really understand, and as a result, the so-called \"comprehensible input\" is neither comprehensible nor input.The second language vocabulary acquisition myths reexamined in this book are:*In learning another language, vocabulary is not as important as grammar or other areas.*Using word lists to learn L2 vocabulary is unproductive.*Presenting new vocabulary in semantic sets facilitates learning.*The use of translations to learn new vocabulary should be discouraged.*Guessing words from context is an excellent strategy for learning L2 vocabulary.*The best vocabulary learners make use of one or two really specific vocabulary learning strategies.*The best dictionary for L2 learners is a monolingual dictionary.*Teachers, textbooks, and curricula cover L2 vocabulary adequately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51893941895456,"sku":"NEW0472030299","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51LMyOamysL.jpg?v=1782011828","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/vocabulary-myths-applying-second-language-research-to-classroom-teaching-the-myths-series-0472030299","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
