The effects of word exposure frequency and elaboration of word processing on incidental L2 vocabulary acquisition through reading (2012, background): “Although there has been some research on incidental word learning from listening (Barcroft and Sommers, 2005; Ellis and He, 1999; Mason and Krashen, 2004; Vidal, 2003), the bulk of studies have focused on vocabulary learning from textual input.”
Replication in Second Language Research: Narrative and Systematic Reviews and Recommendations for the Field. (2018, background): “We found few examples of such article types (e.g., Barcroft & Sommers 2005; Marsden, Liu, & Williams, 2013; neither included in our current synthesis as we investigated replications of studies in different publications).”
Review article: Instructed second language vocabulary learning (2008, background): “Furthermore, incidental learning from listening seems to be better when there is a variety of speakers and voice types (Barcroft, 2001; Barcroft & Sommers, 2005), suggesting that materials writers should incorporate ample acoustic variability when presenting L2 vocabulary on audiotapes, videotapes,…”
