The Effectiveness of L2 Vocabulary Acquisition by Guessing from Context: A Comparative Study
Abstract
Vocabulary acquisition via guessing from context is often considered an essential method in second language learning and teaching. However, there have been uncertainties and disagreement as to the effectiveness of L2 vocabulary acquisition through inference. To approach the controversy in a closer and deeper manner, two representative empirical studies are compared and discussed. Several findings and further research suggestions are also provided.References
