The Effects of Repetition on Incidental Vocabulary Learning: A Meta‐Analysis of Correlational Studies (2019, methodology): “…nature of spoken language and the inherent difficulty with speech segmentation, L2 listeners tend to lack the capacity for processing L2 speech efficiently and for collecting adequate contextual information so as to work out the meanings of unknown spoken words (van Zeeland & Schmitt, 2013).”
INCIDENTAL VOCABULARY LEARNING THROUGH LISTENING TO SONGS (2019, background): “The analysis (see Tables 1 and 2) indicated that the participants needed to know at least the most frequent 2,000 word families to reach 95% lexical coverage of the songs for optimal unassisted incidental vocabulary learning (van Zeeland & Schmitt, 2013a).”
INCIDENTAL VOCABULARY ACQUISITION THROUGH VIEWING L2 TELEVISION AND FACTORS THAT AFFECT LEARNING (2018, background): “Finally, van Zeeland and Schmitt (2013) showed that frequency of occurrence (3, 7, 11, or 15 occurrences) did not affect all aspects of word knowledge (form recognition, grammar, meaning recall) in the same way.”
LEARNING VOCABULARY THROUGH READING, LISTENING, AND VIEWING (2019, background): “Researchers have proposed different lexical coverage targets for comprehension, ranging from 90% to 98%, depending on the type of discourse (Hu & Nation, 2000; Laufer, 1989; Nation, 2006; Webb & Rodgers, 2009; Van Zeeland & Schmitt, 2013) or the benchmark on which the comprehension level was based (”
