Second Language Vocabulary Learning: An Empirical Study

By Ali Jahangard and Somayeh Akbari

The book includes a report on a scientific investigation whose purpose was four-fold: first to investigate the predictive adequacy of the Task-Induced Involvement Load Hypothesis which contends that higher-load inducing tasks yield better retention rates in incidental learning situations, second, to examine whether type of dictionary search could affect vocabulary retention, third, to investigate the effect of translation direction on retention rate, and finally to determine the most effective tasks.
