This book provides an interpretation of vocabulary
acquisition from the perspective of adult language
learners who have acquired a large vocabulary in a
second language and reached their professional goals
as immigrants. The author collected data from 20
professionally successful adult immigrants living in
Canada, who are highly proficient in English. Using
the grounded theory method, the book analyzes the
factors that contribute to successful second
language vocabulary acquisition by adult learners:
naturalistic and instructed learning environments,
language input, cultural and linguistic identity,
motivation, personality traits, learning styles,
aptitude, first language vocabulary, and learning
strategies. The author proposes a theory of
successful second language vocabulary acquisition
and a profile of excellent vocabulary learners.
This book should be useful to second language
teachers and teacher trainees, learners, assessors,
and researchers.
