Abstract

This article evaluates more than a dozen vocabulary learning techniques for students of a second or foreign language. These techniques are divided into four broad categories: decontextualizing, semi-contextualizing, fully contextualizing, and adaptable. Each technique is evaluated in terms of underlying theoretical assumptions and practical utility. Specific classroom implications are also offered.
