As far as incidental vocabulary learning is concerned, the basic contention of the Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) is that retention of unfamiliar words is, generally, conditional upon the degree of involvement in processing them. This study examined input modality and incidental vocabulary uptake in a task-induced setting whereby three variously loaded task types (marginal glosses, fill-inta...

This dissertation intends to examine the effects of task-induced involvement load on L2 incidental vocabulary acquisition through reading. Task-induced is operationalized manipulating components need, search and evaluation show relevance acquisition. It will intend do this by using three major variables: load, initial learning medium-term retention. The chapter starts providing reasons for why ...

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...

This study examined the effects of input-oriented and output-oriented tasks with different involvement load indices on Iranian EFL learners' comprehension and production of lexical collocations. To achieve this purpose, a sample of 180 intermediate-level EFL learners (both male and female) participated in the study. The participants were in six experimental groups. Each of the groups was random...

The present study aimed at examining the adequacy of task-induced involvement load hypothesis in intentional learning. An investigation was carried out to find whether proficiency level learners had a role effectiveness vocabulary tasks with different loads. One hundred and thirty-six university students were randomly assigned into four task groups, each which included upper lower intermediate ...

This study investigates whether reading task type affects English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ vocabulary acquisition or not. 68 EFL learners are divided into three groups at random, assigned to one of tasks learning 15 target words meaning and part speech. The designed based on the Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH), which induces need (N), search (S), evaluation (E) components involve...
