Journal Title: International Journal of Research in English Education - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1

This review paper aims to provide a brief account of practices in vocabulary teaching and learning by focusing on the research on teaching words in context and out of context as well as incidental and intentional vocabulary learning.
