Abstract
Four papers by Anna C-S. Chang, Yuko Hoshino, Tatsuya Nakata and Andrew Gallacher were presented in the afternoon session of the 4th Annual JALT Vocabulary SIG Vocabulary Symposium in Fukuoka, Japan on June 20, 2015. As discussant, it is my pleasure to comment upon each manuscript. The four studies investigate different issues related to vocabulary learning: learning vocabulary through extensive reading, measuring vocabulary knowledge, perceptions of vocabulary learning through flashcards, and learning vocabulary through writing. After commenting on each paper in turn, I shall present a few suggestions for future research on each of these important issues.
