2 How much vocabulary do English Foreign Learners know?
We know that everyone learns a foreign language at will. First of all, you need to find out which foreign languages you are most interested in. Then it will motivate you more for the language you are learning than for any other language. Learning new words from a dictionary is certainly interesting, but if you don’t start using it in real life, it won’t stay in your memory forever. A lot of people think that learning a language begins with learning complex grammar, but this is not the case. Vocabulary will serve as a basis for you to understand the language. The better you understand the word, the easier it will be to communicate with others. So how much vocab is necessary? According to the website Guest Blogger when you learn which foreign language is in demand and take the time to hone your basic skills, you can focus on fluency, and the more you learn, the better. How much you need to learn depends on your environment - friends, colleagues, does your job require fluency in a foreign language? Learning 50 words a day is impressive, learning each word will take you about 10 seconds, but you need to practice, so if you spend just 1 hour a day, you can build a lot of vocabulary and be confident in speaking with a native speaker. It’s important to be aware of multiple meanings of the same word, understanding the connotations and expressions that are associated with the particular word for example leaves and leaves.

‘The dog does not like it when the owner leaves’

‘The dog loves running through the leaves’

This word has the same spelling and pronunciation but the two words have totally different meanings, knowing this only comes with practice!

According to Nation’s (2001) core principles of vocabulary teaching, spaced, repeated exposures are imperative for vocabulary learning). This suggests that longer texts might be better suited for vocabulary learning purposes than shorter ones, as the same word is more likely to be encountered a number of times. Extensive reading has been argued to be particularly effective in vocabulary learning. Not only does extensive reading offer opportunities for repeated exposure to the same lexical item, but it also provides learners with opportunities to encounter words in their contexts of use, thus helping them notice, read, analysis, and eventually learn new items.
