Harrington considers vocabulary size and speed, as reflected in retrieval speed and consistency, as a three-dimensional measurement construct termed lexical facility. While size and retrieval speed are generally known, this is the first attempt to incorporate consistency, as measured by the coefficient of variation, as an index of vocabulary skill. Part 1 describes the three dimensions and the roles they play on lower level text processing and thus on second language performance more generally. Part 2 reports on seven studies and related research that investigate the sensitivity of the three dimensions, both individually and in combination, to proficiency differences in common domains of academic English performance.   Harrington’s framework and the theoretical and methodological issues that arise are presented in a manner accessible to a wide readership, including second language acquisition vocabulary researchers, testing and assessment practitioners, and those interested in second language research methodology. Michael Harring ton teaches in the postgraduate program in Applied Linguistics at the University of Queensland, Australia. He publishes in second language acquisition, second language lexical and cognitive processes, and testing and assessment. . 000823667 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000823667 650_0 $$aSecond language acquisition. 000823667 650_0 $$aVocabulary. 000823667 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9781137372611 000823667 852__ $$bebk 000823667 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-37262-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000823667 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:823667$$pGLOBAL_SET 000823667 980__ $$aEBOOK 000823667 980__ $$aBIB 000823667 982__ $$aEbook 000823667 983__ $$aOnline 000823667 994__ $$a92$$bISE
