q1 · i? · causal · r1

The review reports Taglieber et al.'s (1988) finding with 40 Brazilian undergraduate EFL students reading under four conditions: vocabulary pre-teaching beat the control but was "less effective than the other two strategies" (pictorial context and pre-questioning).

"It is worth noting that vocabulary pre-teaching resulted in increased comprehension compared with the control group, but it was less effective than the other two strategies."
