Learners learn vocabulary by recycling. Keith Folse (2004) writes of the importance of providing learners with multiple exposures to new words, so that the words will move from short-term to long-term memory. This view is also supported by Tom Cobb (1999), whose research demonstrates that when learners encounter words in a variety of contexts they are able to retain and use them flexibly. The Compleat Lexical Tutor offers a means of doing just that. With its focus on academic vocabulary, the site will perhaps be of greatest interest to those working with English for Academic Purposes (EAP) learners.
This website contains a vast range of resources for both teaching and learning vocabulary and grammar. As can be seen from the entry page, the site focuses not only on English but also French and Spanish; however, this review will focus on English resources. Since this is quite a large site, with some sections more "finished" than others, it requires some trial and error exploration on the part of the instructor before employment in the classroom. However, the majority of the programs have been "validated empirically in peer-reviewed papers that are fully and freely available.
