'This is a weighty book in a weighty series: the authoritative Cambridge Language Assessment series.' EL Gazette, 2001

'The book's great strength must lie in the competence with which it summarises research into vocabulary acquisition and research. Read's book is both timely and well-designed, and provides an accessible framework for discussion of aspects of vocabulary knowledge.' ELT Journal

The study of vocabulary is a flourishing area in applied linguistics and language teaching, which is creating a need for new approaches to vocabulary assessment. This volume presents a framework that expands the traditional concept of a vocabulary test to cover a range of procedures for assessing the vocabulary knowledge of second language learners. These procedures can be useful for addressing practical assessment needs, as well as providing tools for conducting research into the lexical dimensions of language.
