Vocabulario y enseñanza del español delves into the nature and acquisition of vocabulary, its relevance to linguistic and communicative mastery, and, consequently, its importance in second language teaching.

This volume begins by exploring the different features of words: the relationships they establish with each other, with grammar, and with context in order to shape the meaning of text and articulate interaction. Next, it examines the aspects and factors involved in the process of acquiring lexical units, highlighting the complex tasks learners face during language acquisition and, in particular, learning new vocabulary. To address these challenges, this book proposes methodological guidelines based on the most relevant pedagogical contributions to the teaching and learning of vocabulary and discusses the criteria for selecting target vocabulary. This comprehensive volume offers the most significant findings regarding the treatment of lexical components in addition to resources, guidelines, and teaching strategies to respond to the lexical needs that may arise.

Vocabulario y enseñanza del español is a valuable resource for current and in-training second language teachers as well as researchers in fields of language acquisition, second language education, and language pedagogy.
