Clarence Green; Melania Pantelich; Michael Barrow; Daya Weerasinghe; Rachel Daniel – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2024
There are few published estimates of vocabulary sizes amongst students in tertiary education. Research does not offer estimates of the vocabulary size tertiary students might be expected to possess, though estimates exist for K-12 education, some EFL contexts, and the general population. Such research is important. For reading comprehension during…

Breno B. Silva; Katarzyna Kutylowska; Agnieszka Otwinowska – Language Teaching Research, 2024
The involvement load hypothesis (ILH), which predicts the lexical learning potential of tasks, assumes that writing sentences (SW) and compositions (CW) using novel target words (TWs) lead to similar lexical gains. However, research on the issue is scarce and contradictory. One possibility is that the higher cognitive load of CW hinders learning…
