Abstract:	Recent research on vocabulary development is reviewed, highlighting issues related to diverse learners. The review included studies of students who are low performers; learning or reading disabled; remedial readers; high achievers; and students who are culturally disadvantaged, language delayed, and linguistically diverse. Areas of convergence in the research literature on vocabulary acquisition are identified: vocabulary size differences among students; factors that contribute to individual differences in vocabulary development, including generalized linguistic differences, memory deficits, and poor word learning strategies; successful methods to improve the vocabularies of students with diverse learning needs; and the relation between vocabulary knowledge and reading achievement. Issues concerning the direct instructional approach to word meanings are discussed, along with the use of semantic mapping/features analysis and keyword and computer-assisted methods. A chart provides information on the studies reviewed, identifying the author(s) and year, number and type of study participants, the vocabulary dimension, and the purpose of the study.
