Abstract

In the first part of the paper, I challenge some basic assumptions underlying the claim that reading is the major source of vocabulary acquisition in L2: the ‘noticing’ assumption, the ‘guessing ability’ assumption, the ‘guessing-retention link’ assumption, and the ‘cumulative gain’ assumption. In the second part, I report on three experiments in which vocabulary gains from reading were compared with gains from word-focused tasks: completing given sentences, writing original sentences, and incorporating words in a composition. Results showed that more words were acquired through tasks than through reading.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The finding that evaluation differences matter more than search differences for short-term meaning recognition is consistent with Park (2011) and contrasts with Laufer (2003).

    “이는 평가에 비해 검색의 영향력이 보다 더 크다고 한 Laufer(2003)의 실험과는 대조적인 결과이며, 검색에 비해 평가의 차이가 어휘 학습에 더욱 큰 영향을 미친다고 해석한 Park(2011)의 연구와는 일치하는 결과로, 향후 검색 조건에 대한 더욱 세밀한 연구가 후속되어야 할 것으로 보인다.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
