Building on contemporary research developments, this collection of studies focuses on vocabulary size, vocabulary knowledge and writing, affix knowledge, pronunciation, translanguaging, language learning strategies, considerations of oral participation and academic adaptation. Insights shared in the edited volume are informed by pedagogy in the context of Australia, Chile, China, Indonesia, Japan and Thailand, and at various levels of the education system. The theoretical discussions, methodologies adopted and implications discussed inform future research avenues in the areas of language and education.
