Vocabulary Instruction through Hypertext: Are There Advantages over Conventional Methods of Teaching?
Koren, Shira
TESL-EJ, v4 n1 Jul 1999
Tests retention of two types of words, words that have to be inferred and words glossed in a text in an interactive program on the Internet for the practice of reading skills for academic purposes. Confirmed theories that retention of inferred words is higher than retention of words where the meaning is given, and that incidental vocabulary learning is not particularly efficient. (Author/VWL)
