CONCLUSIONS
These various vocabulary development programs and tests have been presented in this
and previous studies, and their different stages of development and pedagogical use
demonstrated. How useful they are in guiding individual or classroom vocabulary
instruction has been compared, especially by showing tests of these programs with
various groups of intermediate to advanced high school and college learners in Japan. By
combining these different online and paper test instruments we have been able to get a
much more holistic picture of many of the most important aspects of lexical processing
strategies and acquisition behaviors of these undergraduate and graduate students tested
from several East Asian backgrounds. (See Loucky, 2005c for online program details.)
