Research
Norbert Schmitt began his career in 1988
as an EFL teacher in Japan and quickly
became interested in how language
learners acquire their second languages.
During his Masters study at Temple
University, Japan, he began researching
how students learn vocabulary in
particular. He extended this interest in
vocabulary through his PhD research at
the University of Nottingham in 1994.
Upon completion of his PhD in 1997, he
joined the University of Nottingham staff,
and taught there until his retirement in
September 2020. He is now Emeritus
Professor of Applied Linguistics. Prof.
Schmitt has researched second language
vocabulary issues for over 25 years, and
his interests have broadened to all
aspects of lexical study, including
vocabulary testing, formulaic language,
corpus-based research, and the interface
between vocabulary knowledge and the
ability to read and listen in English.
A number of his accomplishments
