I - Definitions:
Lexicon
The lexical items (i.e. vocabulary) that belong to a specific language. Thus, one can refer to the vocabulary words that comprise English as the English lexicon;
The set of lexical items that are a part of an L2 learner´s interlanguage system. Thus, learners may have different lexicons based on the range of words that they know.
Learners´ knowledge of the lexicon can be characterized by:
Breadth of knowledge = how many words they know;
Depth of knowledge = how well they know those words.

The language system that is created by L2 learners as they develop their L2 knowledge towards the target language norms. 
Interlanguage systems do not remain static; they are dynamic and develop as learners continue to receive input and restructure their L2 knowledge.
Question: Why is vocabulary so important in developing learners´ interlanguage?

IV – Frequency of Words
By frequency we understand the number of times a linguistic item occurs. 
Frequency can be counted as the number of times a linguistic item occurs in the language input available to a specific learner, or it can be counted through the analysis of a corpus to determine the frequency of an item across a range of texts or speakers.
The importance of knowing the most frequent words in a language lies in the fact that this information is useful to help teachers make decisions about what to teach and in what order.

Aula 4: Teaching vocabulary

Teaching Strategies:
Avoid teaching words in isolation. Always consider the use of chunks and context;
Provide information about words step-by-step. Too many detais at one go may overwhelm students;
The use of drills can be useful;
Offer students the chance to read different types of genre;
On-line tools can make learning more fun;
