| Title | Effects on L2 Vocabulary Acquisition through Reading |
| Body | From: NCELA In "Modeling the Role of Second Language Proficiency and Topic Familiarity in Second Language Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition through Reading," researcher Diana Pulido discusses findings from her study of 99 adult learners of Spanish as a second language. Pulido asked participants to read four contrived narrative passages (two familiar to the learners and two unfamiliar) to measure the impact of topic familiarity, L2 reading proficiency, and L2 passage sight vocabulary on incidental vocabulary acquisition. Results indicate a significant effect for both L2 reading proficiency and L2 passage sight vocabulary, but no consistent effect for topic familiarity. This article appears in the June 2003 issue of "Language Learning," Volume 53 (2), 233-284. "Language Learning" is a publication of Blackwell Publishing.
