Journal Article
The Effects of Extensive Reading on Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition and Reading Attitudes
2017
Overview
A number of studies have demonstrated that foreign language students can acquire vocabulary from reading. This study was designed to examine whether EFL students can acquire vocabulary incidentally and reading attitudes from extensive reading. Eighty-six fourth year English major students were engaged in the study. Based on their previous English reading experience centered on intensive reading of English texts, and the words they were learnt incidentally during studying English as a foreign language, therefore, Extensive Reading (ER) was their major reading experience in English. All participants were oriented to the students' questionnaire, a vocabulary levels test and a reading attitude questionnaire. Results showed that participants had significant differences in their vocabulary sizes, and increases in Comfort and Intellectual Value and a reduction in Anxiety, with no influence on Practical Value. Results also demonstrated that extensive reading can help EFL students enhance their vocabulary knowledge and reading attitudes. This implies that incorporating an extensive reading element in language learning programs at all levels can greatly enhance foreign language acquisition.
