Abstract

There has been a consensus that vocabulary knowledge has become a major contributor to L2 learners ’ efficient communication and comprehension. Incidental vocabulary acquisition relates to lexical gains as a by-product resulting from accomplishing another activity which is not aimed at learning vocabulary. This article intends to provide a digest of research on incidental vocabulary acquisition over the past few decades by primarily focusing on related theoretical frameworks, possible explanatory variables mediating incidental vocabulary learning, and tasks targeted at enhancing incidental lexical growth. In line with analyses of findings yielded from an impressive number of illuminating studies conducted, this article calls for a diversification of efforts in relation to multi-word lexical items, multi-modal e-learning technologies, and insights from neuroscience that may warrant more scholarly attention. These possible areas would further enrich the current scope of L2 incidental vocabulary acquisition research.
