Abstract

This research is intended to explore an approach to solve the problems of incidental vocabulary learning during L2 extensive reading and at same time emphasize the importance of instructional intervention to the development of vocabulary knowledge for L2 learners. In this research, experiments including reading, translation and vocabulary tests are conducted to explore the differential effect of two modes of glossing on learner’s reading comprehension, vocabulary pickup and its retention in learner’s long-term memory. The results are the following: 1) the Single glossing group performs better than the Multiple-Choice glossing in comprehending English test; 2) there is no significance difference on vocabulary learning between the Single glossing group and the Multiple-Choice glossing group; 3) the Multiple-Choice group is credited with some lexical retention advantage over the Single group. Based on the results, several suggestions on annotation design in English education are made. Further studies can be done to explore ways to prevent, reduce or delay vocabulary attrition and strengthen the application of vocabulary attrition theory in foreign language teaching.
