Quotes by Keith S. Folse  (?)

“Vocabulary knowledge is critical to any communication. Wilkins (1972) summarizes the situation best: “While without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed” (p. 111).”
Keith S. Folse, Vocabulary Myths: Applying Second Language Research to Classroom Teaching

“categories are more difficult to learn than others. Nouns seem to be the easiest; adverbs—the most difficult; verbs and adjectives—somewhere in between” (p. 298).”
Keith S. Folse, Vocabulary Myths: Applying Second Language Research to Classroom Teaching

“commit suicide, commit grand larceny, commit adultery. Thus, commit does not mean just “do or make” but “do or make something negative.” An ESL student who learns that commit in commit a murder means “to do or perform an action” might attempt to make the following seemingly logical combinations: commit a joke on someone, commit the housework, commit a lie. The problem—a huge problem for nonnative learners—is that commit does not collocate with joke, housework, or lie.”
