Wright, Tanya S.; Cervetti, Gina N.; Wise, Crystal; McClung, Nicola A. – Reading Psychology, 2022
We explored whether knowledge building through read alouds of a conceptually coherent (CC) set of texts might support children's incidental acquisition of vocabulary in these texts and listening comprehension of related texts. Eleven classrooms of first (n = 83) and second grade students (n = 112) were randomly assigned to read alouds of either a…

Simpson, Kedi – Language Teaching, 2021
In her article, Graham (2017) concludes 'that very little of the research regarding the teaching of listening has made it into the classroom in England, not least in a positive way' (p. 117). She suggests that teachers rarely delve into the process of second language (L2) listening in class; instead, listening comprehension is treated more as a…

Ebadi, Saman; Nozari, Fouzhan; Salman, Ahmed Rawdhan – Smart Learning Environments, 2022
This study investigated the impact of flipped vocabulary learning on the listening achievement of EFL learners. The study participants included 60 English language learners selected based on their performance on the Michigan Test of English Language Proficiency and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was…

Tragant Mestres, Elsa; Llanes Baró, Àngels; Pinyana Garriga, Àngels – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
Reading-while-listening may be especially well suited for young language learners because of the multimodality provided in many graded readers aimed at this age group (ie., the presence of oral and written text and illustrations). This study compares a group of students who were exposed to 18 sessions of reading-while-listening with a group…

Madani, Behnaz Sadat; Kheirzadeh, Shiela – International Journal of Listening, 2022
The present study investigated the extent to which four pre-listening activities, "pre-teaching vocabulary", "content discussion", "pre-reading questions" and "topic discussion," assisted EFL learners with their performance on listening comprehension tests across two different proficiency groups (elementary…

Suzanne Graham; Pengchong Anthony Zhang – AILA Review, 2024
This study explored the strategy use of 12 high-school learners of English within a vocabulary teaching intervention which exposed three groups of learners to one of three types of oral vocabulary explanations: L2 explanations; codeswitched explanations (CS); and contrastive focus-on-form explanations (CFoF) giving cross-linguistic information.…

Wenhui Zhang – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Through two presented experiments, I investigated the relationship between the development of non-arbitrary relational control on (a) degree of incidental acquisition of both the listener and speaker components of naming (Inc-BiN), (b) arbitrary derived relations, and (c) joint attention for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).…

Zubenko, Tetiana; Gavrylenko, Anastasiia; Zhyvotovska, Tetyana; Vasylieva, Nadiia – Advanced Education, 2022
Based on a prior study by Zubenko and Shwedel (2019), the present study investigated the possible effects of repetition (repeated exposure) on the incidental acquisition and retention of 120 English target words by 51 Ukrainian-speaking ESL learners at a Ukrainian university. The hypothesis was that regular repetition of vocabulary while…

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…

Masrai, Ahmed – International Journal of Listening, 2020
The relationship between second language (L2) learners' orthographic vocabulary knowledge and extensive reading is quite well researched. However, the way phonological vocabulary knowledge and extensive listening/viewing interacts remains not so well investigated. The current study examines the effect of extensive viewing of English movies…

Bulut, Berker; Karasakaloglu, Nuri – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
In this research, the effect of active listening training given to fourth grade students on their vocabulary was examined. Pre-test--post-test control group trial model, which is one of the semi-experimental trial models, was used. Besides, "Vocabulary Test" developed by the researcher was applied to experimental and control groups…

Yang, Fang-Ying; Hung, Ching-Ling – CATESOL Journal, 2018
Sharing the same theoretical basis of extensive reading, "extensive listening" refers to learner exposure to a great deal of comprehensible spoken input. While the effectiveness of extensive reading has been widely acknowledged in many countries, empirical support of extensive listening is limited. This small-scale study adopted a…

Li, Yang; Zhang, Xian – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2019
The current study investigates how second language (L2) listening comprehension is associated with three dimensions of L2 vocabulary knowledge: size, depth, and fluency. Vocabulary knowledge tests administered to 290 participants measured L2 auditory vocabulary size, depth, and fluency. Afterward, participants took an International English…

Aldukhayel, Dukhayel – The EUROCALL Review, 2021
Chapelle (2003) proposed three general types of input enhancement that help L2 learners "acquire features of the linguistic input that they are exposed to during the course reading or listening for meaning" (p. 40): input salience, input modification, and input elaboration. In 2010, Cárdenas-Claros and Gruba argued that Chapelle's…

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…
