Cheryl Boyd Zimmerman's Word Knowledge: A Vocabulary Teacher's Handbook investigates the complex nature of teaching and learning words and functions as both a resource and as a reference guide for novice and experienced ESL teachers. Her overall aim is to "help tease apart the complex process of vocabulary learning and teaching and to provide ideas for addressing learners' needs" (p. v). She accomplishes this goal by providing a thorough and comprehensive overview of what it means to truly learn a word.
