Why not we explicitly focus on learning vocabulary? We as teacher candidate prepare specific vocabulary activities for the class so that we increase their vocabulary capacity. The more they learn new words and get habit to use them in their lives the better they can adjust their use of vocabulary in an appropriate way. Decontextualization of vocabulary is may not possible every time because there will be the words that they can't figure out just by looking at once so they will need the context.
I think nothing surprised me actually but when we think about the word frequency vary or not I can say yes it varies. Tthe types of English e.g American versus British English depends on which language variables (phonetic, semantic,syntactic,lexical) changed in what conditions. For example, Americans uses Soccer instead of saying football it has semantic meaning but the use of this word changed.
