BS English Students' Lexical Assimilation Errors and Remedial Measures

Abstract

    Vocabulary learning has gained much interest in second language acquisition research. Communication hinges on instinctive and precise word recognition skills, so a learner needs to be equipped with adequate vocabulary knowledge for fluency. Yet, this process of gaining fluency becomes suffocating for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners when they come across unknown words and this often results in giving up reading or making zero effort to understand the meaning of a text.This shows that learners lack the ability to gain knowledge of handling unknown words. For this purpose, various kinds of vocabulary tests have been constructed through time. This study aims to get together the notion of errors in vocabulary assimilation and use, the development of vocabulary assessment and the incorporation of some remedial measures that can help Pakistani BS learners improve their English lexical assimilation.
