The book reviews germane and recent SLA, psycholinguistic, corpus linguistics, and L2 writing research to underscore the challenges associated with the learning of academic words. Then, it reports on three empirical studies conducted in the Polish context. The first study develops a reliable tool to assess the knowledge of academic vocabulary of undergraduate learners. The second and third studies investigate the learning of academic words after the writing of sentences and argumentative essays, and discuss the role of cognition as a mediator of such learning. The book also provides an accessible introduction to linear mixed-effect models, a powerful, reliable, and flexible statistical technique that has been gaining popularity among SLA and psycholinguistics researchers.Second Language Learning and Teaching,2193-7656Education, HigherLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingEducational tests and measurementsHigher EducationLanguage EducationAssessment and TestingAnglèsthubEnsenyament de la llenguathubLlibres electrònicsthubEducation, Higher.Language and languagesStudy and teaching.Educational tests and measurements.Higher Education.Language Education.Assessment and Testing.AnglèsEnsenyament de la llengua407.1808.02Silva Breno B.1417063MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910590082203321Writing to learn academic words3524273UNINA
