Lexical errors are very frequent in the written production of young EFL learners, but they decrease as learners gain proficiency. Misspellings are the most common category, but formal errors give way to semantic-based lexical errors as proficiency increases, likewise, the direct influence of the L1 also reduces in favour of more elaborated transfer mechanisms and L2 influence. The different categories of lexical errors indicate the stage of learning. This book uses a study of young EFL learners to suggest that lexical accuracy is a crucial component of writing assessment, and that lexical errors are useful in predicting writing quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents an inspiring study of lexical errors by second language learners. The volume will be particularly welcomed by experts and students in the fields of vocabulary acquisition and of young learners in instructed second language acquisition. It will also help EFL teachers to gain valuable understanding of students’ errors and insights for vocabulary teaching.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Carmen Muñoz, University of Barcelona, Spain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides applied linguistics researchers as well as students and practitioners with an up-to-date, comprehensible account of the lexical errors produced in early writing by a large sample of young Spanish EFL learners. As far as I know there are no studies like the one contained in this book. Vocabulary research has hardly paid attention to lexical errors, let alone young EFL learners. This book is a valuable contribution to understanding more on how young EFL learners acquire and develop vocabulary in school contexts, as well as how lexical errors interrelate with learners’ lexical knowledge and quality of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Rosa María Jiménez Catalán, Universidad de La Rioja, Spain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a useful resource for students\/researchers commencing work on L2 acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Trevor Jenkins, Freelance Communication Support Worker\/Community (Sign Language) Interpreter * LINGUIST LIST24.378 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: An Outline\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePart I: Lexical Competence and Lexical Errors\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
