The Relationship Between Passive and Active Vocabularies: Effects of Language Learning Context.
Laufer, Batia; Paribakht, T. Sima
Language Learning, v48 n3 p365-91 Sep 1998
Investigated the relationships among three types of vocabulary knowledge (passive, controlled active, and free active) within the same individuals, taking four variables into consideration: passive vocabulary size, language learning context, second (L2) for foreign (FL), length of residence in L2 context, and, among the Canadians, knowledge of French. Participants were adult learners of English in Israel and in Canada at different proficiency levels. (Author/JL)
