Abstract

Most researches of the involvement load hypothesis have investigated the effect of incidental vocabulary learning with different tasks involvement load, and there is a relative lack of studies that analyze incidental vocabulary learning from the perspectives of word frequency. To investigate the effect of incidental vocabulary learning of junior high school students, the study controlled the involvement index and conducted an empirical study on word frequency. The results of the immediate test and the delayed test showed that word frequency (twice, four times, and six times) had a certain effect on incidental vocabulary learning under equal involvement load, and the word frequency rates were proportional to the effect of incidental vocabulary learning. However, in the delayed test, the data analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the scores obtained by subjects exposed to different word frequencies. Therefore, in vocabulary teaching and learning, we should pay attention to the role of word frequency in incidental vocabulary learning on the one hand, and consider the influence of time factor on vocabulary learning on the other.
