The importance of words in verbal communication hardly needs stressing, yet no other language component has been more neglected in foreign language teaching than the lexicon. While a great deal of energy and imagination is going into the teaching of grammar, comparatively little is being done to teach words, and students of foreign languages, even after several years of strenuous effort, often know many grammatical frames but have very little to put into them. The Words You Need sets out specifically to organise the acquisition of language skills within the context of a structured approach to vocabulary teaching. The approach used is a completely new one, adapting insights from theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics to the service of the language learner.
