Beschreibung:
Marjorie (Mari) Wesche is a former Professor and currently an Adjunct Professor at the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute of the University of Ottawa. Her teaching and research specialties are in second language acquisition including vocabulary acquisition; language aptitude and performance-based testing; and content-based instruction including immersion. Since the early 1990s she and her colleague, Sima Paribakht, have been involved in joint research on L2 vocabulary acquisition and reading, including several major research projects involving lexical inferencing. She has published widely in all these areas.
Lexical inferencing is a central process in both reading comprehension and word learning through reading. This volume presents a comprehensive review of second language lexical inferencing and a major new study of first and second language lexical inferencing by speakers of Persian, French and English, focusing on first language transfer effects.
