| Abstract | Basically, in L2 teaching and learning vocabulary through reading, there are two instructional techniques: incidental learning and intentional learning. This case study explores the role of reading in L2 vocabulary acquisition, and the effect of different vocabulary instructional techniques on the vocabulary learning of ESL students of different levels in Chinese universities. The results of the study yield following findings: 1) Both instructional treatments result in significant gains in learners' receptive vocabulary knowledge, but the combination of the incidental and intentional learning instruction leads to greater vocabulary gains and better retention. 2) Students' vocabulary size plays a decisive role in acquiring the productive aspect of the vocabulary knowledge. |
