Focus on both mapping meaning onto form and network building
The relationship between dimension one and two and the learning of word meaning plays an
important role in vocabulary semantization (Beyeydt, 1987). Beyeydt (1987) considers
vocabulary learning a mere rote learning task. According to Hatch and Brown (1995) the
process of mapping meaning onto form should not be considered more important than the
learner‘s ongoing struggle to construct and reorganize his/her interlanguage because it is a
complex process that also involves network building.
