Vocabulary knowledge, especially for second-language learners, may develop across a lifetime. For example, an advanced student in  \nUzbekistan told us that he recently learned that popular and famous have positive connotations, while notorious refers to being famous for something negative. An international graduate student in the United States complained that although she recognizes many words in English, especially when she reads books and journal articles, watches videos, or listens to audio materials, she cannot easily retrieve words effectively from her memory while speaking or writing. Because of this challenge, it takes her a lot of time to prepare for academic presentations or write academic papers for her graduate-level courses. Learning the meaning alone of new words does not guarantee word mastery—although it is an important first step.  \nSecond-language learners need to know many features about a word because word knowledge is multifaceted and includes the following essential variables: form, meaning, and use. According to Nation (2013),form primarily involves recognizing a new word’s spelling and pronunciation.When learners see or hear a recently learned word, they should be able to recognize the word’s spelling or pronunciation and word parts (e.g. , interest – interesting – interested). Meaning is about understanding a word’s synonyms, antonyms, associated words, and polysemy (having a large number of meanings) . Use focuses on the ability to use a word in context by keeping in mind its lexicogrammatical nature and  \ncollocation (the frequent co-occurrence of two or more words) .  \nIn addition to form, meaning, and use, there exists in word knowledge a receptive and productive duality. An English language learner may recognize the meaning of a recently learned word in a reading passage (receptive) but might not be able to spell the word accurately, pronounce it intelligibly in speech, or use it correctly in an essay or in a conversation (productive) . Unlike receptive vocabulary, productive vocabulary“involves knowing a lexical item [a word] well enough to produce it when it is needed to encode communicative content in speech or  \n16  \nENGLISH  \nTEACHING  \nF OR UM  \n2 02 1  \n[americanenglish.state.gov/english-teaching-forum](americanenglish.state.gov/english-teaching-forum)  \nAssessing learners’ productive vocabulary involves unpredictable cases and/or inconsistent situations due to the multifaceted nature of word knowledge.  \nwriting”(Schmitt 2019, 269). A learner using vocabulary—such as single words (arm, baby), compound words (armchair, babysit), phrasal verbs (sit through, sit down), collocations (cross your arms, sit tight), and idioms (cost [someone] an arm and a leg ; sit on your hands)—in speech and/or writing needs to attend to the multiple aspects of vocabulary knowledge . To use vocabulary in productive ways, a learner should be able to do the following (in which T = talking and W = writing):  \n• pronounce a word intelligibly (T)  \n• spell the word correctly and write it legibly (W)  \n• identify the word’s derivation(s) or inflection(s), based on a context (T andW)  \n• consider the word’s grammatical function(s) to produce a syntactically accurate phrase or sentence (T andW)  \n• select a meaning sense and a semantic association to convey the intended meaning (T andW)  \n• apply collocational knowledge accurately to communicate the intended meaning (T andW)  \n• distinguish formal and informal words or phrases and be aware of when to use and not to use them (T andW)  \nThis list does not encapsulate all aspects of productive vocabulary knowledge .
