Vocabulary size revisited: the link between vocabulary size and academic achievement (2013, result): “While the results of these studies do not converge upon a single figure, there appears to be a growing consensus that learners do not pick up a huge number of words from reading (see Pellicer-Sánchez and Schmitt 2010).”
Learning L2 vocabulary from audiovisual input: an exploratory study into incidental learning of single words and formulaic sequences (2019, background): “Incidental vocabulary learning has primarily been researched in the context of reading (e.g. Horst, Cobb and Meara 1998; Pellicer-Sánchez and Schmitt 2010; Saragi, Nation and Meister 1978).”
Incidental vocabulary acquisition through L2 listening: A dimensions approach (2013, background): “Pellicer-Sánchez and Schmitt (2010) explored the acquisition of word form recognition (spelling), word class recall, and meaning recognition and recall through reading an authentic novel.”
CONTEXTUAL WORD LEARNING DURING READING IN A SECOND LANGUAGE (2017, background): “In reading long continuous texts, between 8 and 12 encounters are needed for more robust CWL (Horst et al., 1998; Pellicer-Sánchez & Schmitt, 2010; Waring & Takaki, 2003).”
