Lexical Knowledge and Lexical Acquistion

Language, a multifaceted system, relies significantly on lexical knowledge for comprehension. Lexical knowledge entails the recognition, production, and contextual usage of words, holding great significance for language learners, particularly in English as a foreign language (EFL). Proficiency in lexical knowledge empowers effective verbal and written communication, as well as reading, writing, and vocabulary development. The book "Lexical Knowledge and Lexical Acquisition in ELT Settings" aims to contribute to the discourse on lexical knowledge and acquisition in English language teaching. It provides comprehensive lecture notes covering diverse aspects, such as metacognition, effective methods, and the role of lexical knowledge in EFL acquisition.
