- Review article: Instructed second language vocabulary learning (2008, background): “learners’ productive test scores [L1–L2] were only 16% of their receptive test scores [L2–L1]) to 35% at the 2000 level, while Fan (2000) found a range from 53% to 81% (mean 69.2%) for words taken from the 2000, 3000 and UWL levels. Laufer and Paribakht (1998) found an average ratio of 77% for Israe”
- The relationship between three measures of L2 vocabulary knowledge and L2 listening and reading (2018, background): “Indeed, research consistently shows that a learner’s receptive vocabulary is larger in size than the learner’s productive vocabulary (Fan, 2000; Laufer, 1998; Webb, 2008).”
- Size and Depth of Vocabulary Knowledge: What the Research Shows (2014, background): “Other studies conclude that around one-half to three-quarters of receptive vocabulary is known productively (Fan, 2000; Laufer & Paribakht, 1998).”
- Understanding vocabulary acquisition, instruction, and assessment: A research agenda (2019, background): “There have been many studies which compared ‘receptive’ and ‘productive’ knowledge, but they have mainly looked at only the form-meaning link (e.g. Fan, 2000; Laufer & Goldstein, 2004).”
- RECEPTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE VOCABULARY SIZES OF L2 LEARNERS (2008, background): “The first question investigated total receptive and productive vocabulary sizes+ The results support previous findings ~Fan, 2000; Laufer, 1998; Laufer & Paribakht, 1998; Morgan & Oberdeck, 1930; Waring, 1997a! as well as the common perception among researchers ~Aitchison, 1994; Channell, 1988;…”
