Classroom Interaction, Comprehension, and the Acquisition of L2 Word Meanings.

Ellis, Rod; And Others

Language Learning, v44 n3 p449-91 Sep 1994

Two studies investigated the effects of modified interaction on comprehension and vocabulary acquisition among Japanese high school students learning English as a Second Language. The studies found that interactionally modified input resulted in better comprehension and the acquisition of more new words than premodified input. (MDM)
