Abstract

In this paper, the author surveys some experiments and studies in acquiring L2 vocabulary from reading, listening, and word-focused activities. By comparison, it is found that the vocabulary gains from reading are much larger than that from listening. Similarly, when reading is compared with a word-focused activity alone, it is the latter that is more effective for L2 vocabulary acquisition.
