Fievez, Isabeau; Montero Perez, Maribel; Cornillie, Frederik; Desmet, Piet – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2023
This paper investigates the effects of watching an entire season of a French series with the streaming service Netflix in an out-of-classroom context. University Dutch-speaking low- to high-intermediate learners of French were divided into two groups: a control group who only took the tests (N = 37) and a treatment group (N = 65). Learners in the…

Holger Hopp; Jana Reifegerste; Michael T. Ullman – Language Learning, 2025
Second language (L2) grammar learning is difficult. Two frameworks--the psycholinguistic lexical bottleneck hypothesis and the neurocognitive declarative/procedural model--predict that faster L2 lexical processing should facilitate L2 incidental grammar learning. We tested these predictions in a pretest-posttest syntactic adaptation study of…

Peters, Elke; Puimège, Eva; Szudarski, Pawel – Language Learning, 2023
This multisite study replicates Webb, Newton, and Chang's (2013) study on the effect of repetition on incidental learning of multiword units (MWUs). Even though more researchers have started to investigate MWUs, most data have been collected from university students. Furthermore, the large effect of MWU repetition on learning reported by Webb…

Hassan A. Alshumrani – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2024
Vocabulary is often considered as a key predictor of second language ability, and how teachers and learners' beliefs and conceptualizations about vocabulary affect their teaching and learning has recently gained unprecedented momentum in the field of second language education. However, despite their importance, there is a paucity of research that…

Thongsan, Nuchsara Choksuansup – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2023
With the aim of investigating effective approaches to extensive reading in Thailand, this study examined the vocabulary uptake and retention rate from reading 350 headwords graded reader. To determine the effects of reading a graded reader on students' vocabulary knowledge and retention, 20 words within four bands of different frequencies of…

Xin Yuan; Xuan Tang – Language Awareness, 2025
This study explored the effects of listening-based lexical focus-on-form (lexical FonF) on the acquisition and retention of morphologically complex words. One hundred eighty-two adult English learners with two levels of English proficiency (higher and lower proficiency) from a public university in mainland China were assigned to three different…

Chi Duc Nguyen – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2024
Research shows that meaning-focused reading offers opportunities for incidental grammar acquisition. However, the number of such studies remains limited and none have examined the role of both in-text encounters with grammar structures and reading comprehension in this learning. The present study filled these gaps. Employing a between-group,…

Jahn, Vladena Bätge; Lombaerts, Koen – International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2022
This study explored actualization of affordances of audiobooks for mobile learning, as well as constraints encountered by students engaging with elective readings in a university course. Participants often tried learning in different situations before settling on a preferred learning practice. Students reported having listened on-the-go as well as…

Dang, Thi Ngoc Yen; Lu, Cailing; Webb, Stuart – Language Learning, 2022
In this quasi-experimental study, 165 learners of English for academic purposes at a university in China were randomly assigned to five experimental groups and a control group. Each experimental group encountered 19 target collocations in the same academic lecture in one of the following input modes: (a) reading, (b) listening, (c) reading while…

Ali Soyoof; Barry Lee Reynolds; Rustam Shadiev; Boris Vazquez-Calvo – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
While the study of serious games has received due attention, few studies have investigated their potentials of simultaneously offering a route to both content and language acquisition. Understanding the interdisciplinary educational affordance of serious game play is significant, as it might provide game designers and teachers with insight into…

Webb, Stuart; Chang, Anna C.-S. – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
There has been little research investigating how mode of input affects incidental vocabulary learning, and no study examining how it affects the learning of multiword items. The aim of this study was to investigate incidental learning of L2 collocations in three different modes: reading, listening, and reading while listening. One hundred…

Ahmet Çekiç – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
Despite increasing number of studies on incidental vocabulary learning through viewing in a foreign language, glosses, which have been proven to have facilitative effects in incidental vocabulary learning via other modes of input, have remained underexplored in audiovisual input. The current study investigates the effects of (1) traditional gloss…

Ounissi, Amine; Romly, Raihana; Tajuddin, Azza Jauhar Ahmad; Hasan, Md. Kamrul – MEXTESOL Journal, 2023
The prevalence of COVID-19 worldwide and the length of the global lockdown period deeply affected students' academic study. This unexpected scenario posed a challenge to a considerable number of academic institutions around the world to formally adopt a new education system based on e-learning platforms. Therefore, this study aims to investigate…
