| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the nature of vocabulary learning and identifies how vocabulary differs in oral and written language. The multifaceted nature of word knowledge is described and the promotion of word consciousness is proposed as a key component of an effective vocabulary instructional programme. Finally, given the importance of vocabulary knowledge in influencing reading success, the paper examines the role of vocabulary instruction in the English Language Curriculum in Ireland (NCCA, 1999a, 1999b) | en |
