Lex30: An Improved Method of Assessing Productive Vocabulary in an L2.

Meara, Paul; Fitzpatrick, Tess

System, v28 n1 p19-30 Mar 2000

Describes an easy-to-administer test of productive vocabulary that requires subjects to produce a set of word association responses to a small set of stimulus words. Argues that such a test might tap the extent of nonnative speakers' productive vocabulary more effectively than other tests in current use. (Author/VWL)
