Effect of Frequency and Idiomaticity on Second Language Reading Comprehension. (2011, background): “Much as an research important into source second for language linguistic (L2) development learning points in to the reading target as an important source f r lingui tic development in the target language (e.g., Elley & Mangubhai, 1983; Krashen, 1993; Nation, 1997).”
The effects of word exposure frequency and elaboration of word processing on incidental L2 vocabulary acquisition through reading (2012, background): “Accounting for the deficiencies of the ‘input only’ model of word learning through extensive reading only (Krashen, 1993; Mason and Krashen, 2004), research has suggested an alternative ‘input plus’ position (Hulstijn et al., 1996; Peters et al., 2009, p. 114).”
The Leisure Reading Habits of Urban Adolescents (2007, background): “Students who read in their spare time become better readers, score higher on achievement tests in all subject areas, and have more content knowledge than those who do not (Cunningham & Stanovich, 1991; Krashen, 1993).”
Beyond raw frequency: Incidental vocabulary acquisition in extensive reading (2008, background): “Second language vocabulary can be learned incidentally while the learner is engaged in extensive reading or reading for meaning, inferring the meaning of unknown words (Huckin & Coady, 1999; Hulstijn, 1992; Krashen, 1993; Pigada & Schmitt, 2006).”
A National Survey of Guided Reading Practices: What We Can Learn from Primary Teachers (2008, background): “It is important that independent and instructional level texts are used in guided reading to help children become competent readers ( Allington, 2001 ; Krashen, 1993 ).”
Second language reading and incidental vocabulary learning (2020, background): “(Krashen 1993:23) There is no doubt that reading a lot can contribute to our reading ability, our writing style and can help build our vocabulary and aid our spelling.”
