Abstract
Having distinguished vocabulary recognition strategies from vocabulary development exercises, the article first justifies the teaching of such strategies in ESP reading. Five are then reviewed: inferring from context, identifying lexical familiarization, unchaining nominal compounds, synonym search, and word analysis. Appropriate exercise-types and teaching approaches are suggested for each.
