Evidence¶

Zhao 2016¶

Zhao, A., Guo, Y., Biales, C., & Olszewski, A. (2016). Exploring learner factors in second language (L2) incidental vocabulary acquisition through reading. Reading in a Foreign Language, 28(2). http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/rfl doi:10.64152/10125/66903

q2 · i2 · associational · r2

In the multiple linear regression (N = 129), mastery of strategies measured by the MIVLSS (26 items, α = 0.88) was a significant positive predictor, "β = .20, t = 2.04, p < .05".

"mastery of strategies (β = .20, t = 2.04, p < .05) were significant positive predictors of L2 incidental vocabulary acquisition."
