Vocabulary and Writing in a First and Second Language: Processes and Development

Albrechtsen, D.; Haastrup, K.; Henriksen, B.

This book observes individuals performing similar tasks in their first and their foreign language and invites readers with an interest in foreign language acquisition to follow the same learners in their efforts to cope in both languages.
