My main research interests include the assessment of vocabulary knowledge, second language (L2) productive vocabulary development, productive vocabulary knowledge and fluency, second language acquisition, word association studies, lexical processing, and L2 assessment. I have examined several vocabulary measurement tools, with attempts to isolate the construct of productive vocabulary knowledge. Findings have resulted in several international journal article publications. ..................................................................................................
