  "title": "Learn the usable package, not only the translation",
  "summary": "Knowing what a word means is only one part of knowing what to do with it.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "For high-value vocabulary, keep the smallest package that supports real use: meaning, spoken and written form, one typical grammatical pattern, one or two strong collocations and a short example that shows register or context. Test the parts separately when needed. Do not turn every word into a dictionary page; depth is most valuable for language you expect to produce.",
  "limits": [
    "Not every low-frequency recognition word deserves deep productive study. Match depth to likely use."

      "claim": "Intentional vocabulary activities can produce substantial immediate learning, but delayed recall is lower and outcomes vary widely by activity and study conditions.",

      "claim": "Formulaic sequences are an important part of L2 processing and communication and can be acquired through meaning-focused activity, although productive mastery requires more than noticing a phrase once.",

      "role": "supports",
      "note": "The review does not justify treating every frequent word string as a phrase worth deliberate memorization.",

  "example": "For 'raise a concern', learn the phrase, the pattern 'raise a concern about X', and a work example rather than only 'raise = поднимать.'",
