Abstract The present meta-analysis aimed to improve on Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) by incorporating it into a broader framework that predicts incidental vocabulary learning. Studies testing the ILH were systematically collected and 42 studies meeting our inclusion criteria analyzed. model-selection approach was used determine optimal statistical model (i.e., set of predictor variables) be...

Despite the increasing research on benefits of using corpora in language teaching and learning, Data-Driven Learning (henceforth, DDL) has been criticized for its lack contribution to second theories. This paper intends address this gap by examining assumptions Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) two DDL tasks with different cognitive loads. Learners were assigned one conditions: reading only or ...

framed in a cognitive approach to task-supported l2 vocabulary learning, the present study used a pedagogical approach to investigate the relative effectiveness of tasks with different involvement loads on the vocabulary knowledge of iranian efl learners. the goal was to investigate the way that the construct of involvement load is related to the input hypothesis (krashen, 1985) and the output ...

L2 vocabulary acquisition is of much importance to learners and has long been the hot topic in field applied linguistics. Stimulated by Technical Feature Analysis (TFA) Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) particular, a large body research attempted find relative efficacy various tasks facilitating acquisition. However, there paucity regarding effectiveness ILH TFA accounting for task type effects...

As Schmidt (2008) states, deeper engagement with new vocabulary as induced by tasks clearly increases the chances of learning those words. This engagement is theoretically clarified by the involvement load hypothesis (ILH, Laufer and Hulstijn, 2001), based on which the involvement index of each task can be measured. The present study was designed to test ILH by evaluating the impact of 4 differ...

Framed in a cognitive approach to task-supported L2 vocabulary learning, the present study used a pedagogical approach to investigate the relative effectiveness of tasks with different involvement loads on the vocabulary knowledge of Iranian EFL learners. The goal was to investigate the way that the construct of involvement load is related to the Input Hypothesis (Krashen, 1985) and the Output ...

this study builds on laufer and hulstijn’s (2001) motivational-cognitive construct of task-induced involvement in learning vocabulary and addresses itself to its strong claim that the depth of processing is the overriding factor in learning words. the paper first re-examines the effect of processing load and then of task type on the initial learning and retention of words. to do so, 60 efl lear...

The importance of vocabulary is undeniable. EFL learners need sufficient lexicon in order to bea competitive speaker. Lots of strategies have been proposed. The concept of involvement loadwas first introduced by Hulstijn and Laufer (2001). They believed that deeper explanation oflexical information will result in better retention of them. The present study aimed at finding the...

The study aimed at investigating whether the retention of vocabulary acquired incidentally is dependent upon the amount of task-induced involvement. Immediate and delayed retention of twenty unfamiliar words was examined in three learning tasks( listening comprehension + group discussion, listening comprehension + dictionary checking + summary writing in L1, and listening comprehension + dictio...
