Title: Book: Measuring Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition
Body: From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/display.asp?isb=9781847692078 Measuring Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition Author: James Milton Publisher: Multilingual Matters Summary: "Measuring Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition" provides an examination of the background to testing vocabulary knowledge in a second language and in particular considers the effect that word frequency and lexical coverage have on learning and communication in a foreign language. It examines the tools we have for assessing the various facets of vocabulary knowledge such as aural and written word recognition, the link with word meaning, and vocabulary depth. These are illustrated and the scores they produce are demonstrated to provide normative data. Vocabulary acquisition from course books and in the classroom in examined, as is vocabulary uptake from informal tasks. This book ties scores on tests of vocabulary breadth to performance on standard foreign language examinations and on hierarchies of communicative performance such as the CEFR.

Title: Workshop: Multimodal Approaches to Language Acquisition
Body: From http://www-lipn.univ-paris13.fr/~poibeau/acquisition.html MULTIMODAL APPROACHES TO LANGUAGE ACQUISITION 26-28 November 2009, RCEAL, Cambridge UK Workshop Description The study of language acquisition is of paramount importance for linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, communication, etc. Children produce forms that look or sound like sketches of adult forms. Those productions cannot be analyzed without special attention to gestures, gaze, mimics as well as the context, the positioning of interlocutors in space, and the specificity of discourse objects. The child language community shares tools and data through the Internet (especially, the CHILDES database) that can be used as a basis for multimodal, multilingual and inter-disciplinary research.
