This paper is aimed to reveal how reading a text with different purposes might affect IVA of L2 learners. The results of this study show that there is a closed relationship between the efficiency of IVA and reading purposes. Besides,it also has something to do with L2 learners' reading abilities.展开更多
This paper starts with the theoretical reflection on the relationship between IVA (Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition) and extensive reading based on reading process and vocabulary acquisition process, claiming that ...This paper starts with the theoretical reflection on the relationship between IVA (Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition) and extensive reading based on reading process and vocabulary acquisition process, claiming that inferring word meaning is not equated with vocabulary acquisition. Then, some implications are drawn from the theoretical reflection, that is, three factors--text, learner and situation--have great impact on the process of acquiring vocabulary through extensive reading. After that, it follows the review of current research on specific aspects at textual, leamer and situational level.展开更多
