Providing Controlled Exposure To Target Vocabulary through the Screening and Arranging of Texts.
Ghadirian, Sina
Language Learning & Technology, v6 n1 p147-64 Jan 2002
Considers how to bring foreign language students with limited vocabulary knowledge, consisting mainly of high-frequency words, to where they can comprehend authentic texts in a target domain. Proposes bridging the vocabulary gap by determining which word families account for 95% of the target domain's running words, and having students learn these word families by reading texts in an order that allows incremental introduction of target vocabulary.
