Vocabulary Learning during Reading: Benefits of Contextual Inferences versus Retrieval Opportunities
Peer reviewed
Direct linkvan den Broek, Gesa S. E.; Wesseling, Eva; Huijssen, Linske; Lettink, Maj; van Gog, Tamara – Cognitive Science, 2022
Retrieval practice of isolated words (e.g., with flashcards) enhances foreign vocabulary learning. However, vocabulary is often encountered in context. We investigated whether retrieval opportunities also enhance contextualized word learning. In two within-subjects experiments, participants encoded 24 foreign words and then read a story to further…

Lowell, Randy; Pender, Kaitlyn Wade; Binder, Katherine S. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2020
The authors examined the influence of context meaning consistency on incidental vocabulary acquisition during reading. "Context meaning consistency" refers to informational context that reflected the same meaning (i.e., consistent) or different meanings (i.e., inconsistent) across two self-paced reading sessions for a given item (both…

Solovyeva, Katya; DeKeyser, Robert – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2018
Response time variability and its changes over time have been interpreted as indicative of levels of knowledge automatization. Predominantly, only declines in variability have been examined over the course of practice and growing second language proficiency. We discuss possible scenarios that may involve increasing, rather than declining…

Abel, Alyson D.; Schuele, C. Melanie – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2014
The relation between incidental word learning and two cognitive-linguistic variables--phonological memory and phonological awareness--is not fully understood. Thirty-five typically developing, 5-year-old, preschool children participated in a study examining the association between phonological memory, phonological awareness, and incidental word…

This article reviews some essential theoretical and empirical research literature that discusses the role of memory in second language acquisition and instruction. Two models of literature review--thematic and study-by-study--were used to analyze and synthesize the existing research. First, issues of memory retention in second language acquisition…

Ramachandran, Sharimllah Devi; Rahim, Hajar Abdul – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2004
Whilst the communicative approach advocates the use of the target language and implicit/incidental learning in vocabulary teaching, recent literature suggests that there is a need for these methods to be reconsidered. This is motivated by studies which suggest that for effective vocabulary learning process to occur explicit learning should be…
