Carmen Munoz, Professor of Applied Linguistics, University of Barcelona, Spain This book presents an inspiring study of lexical errors by second language learners. The volume will be particularly welcomed by experts and students in the fields of vocabulary acquisition and of young learners in instructed second language acquisition. It will also help EFL teachers to gain valuable understanding of students' errors and insights for vocabulary teaching. Carmen Munoz, Professor of Applied Linguistics, University of Barcelona, Spain This book provides applied linguists researchers as well as students and practitioners with an up-to-date, comprehensible account of the lexical errors produced in early writing by a large sample of Spanish young EFL learners. The book contributes to both vocabulary and writing research as it provides the reader with a longitudinal study of the lexical errors made by young EFL learners in a letter-writing task. As far as I know there are no studies as the one contained in this book. Vocabulary research has hardly paid attention to lexical errors, let alone young EFL learners. Moreover, in the past, most error analyses focused on grammar and looked at older or adult learners, the studies were descriptive rather than explanatory, and the number of informants very scarce. This book is a valuable contribution for understanding more on how young EFL learners acquire and develop vocabulary in school contexts, as well as how lexical errors interrelate with learners' lexical knowledge and quality of writing. Rosa Maria Jimenez Catalan, Universidad de La Rioja Author InformationMaria Pilar Agustin Llach is a lecturer at the Department of Modern Languages of the Universidad de La Rioja. Among her main research interests are the examination of vocabulary acquisition and teaching in the light of different variables such as age, gender, proficiency level, mother tongue influence, or learning context (CLIL vs. non-CLIL). Other vocabulary-related issues such as lexical errors, lexical transfer, and instruments used to measure vocabulary knowledge are included in her research.
