Abstract
Developing L2 learners’ productive mastery of vocabulary is a challenging task. Recent research has called for
greater attention to understanding how receptive vocabulary may be transformed for productive use (Schmitt, 2019). Using a design-based research methodology, this study investigated adult ESL learners’
productive oral vocabulary development through engaging them in a series of classroom workshops where they were exposed to nine
target words in five different contexts. Findings suggest that such exposure to words combined with phonological form-focused
elaboration facilitates the development of metalinguistic awareness, specifically the associations between grammatical patterns
and word meaning, leading to subsequent productive use of target words. The paper contributes to the understanding that vocabulary
training combining a focus on meaning with a focus on phonological and grammatical form may enhance form-meaning mapping, leading
to productive oral vocabulary development.
