Abstract
This research study examined the effects of extensive reading on incidental vocabulary acquisition in learning English as a foreign language. Several factors were considered when conducting the research: the participants’ age, the age they started to learn EFL, the final grade they received in English at the end of previous school year, as well as the overall reading habits of the participants and their perception of influence of reading on vocabulary acquisition. The research sample included 107 primary and high school students in Osijek, Croatia. Participants read the modified last chapter of George Orwell’s Animal Farm and solved two vocabulary tasks, one focusing on word form, the other on word meaning. The questionnaire results showed that, while participants do not have positive reading habits as a whole, when they do read they perceive reading as beneficial to vocabulary acquisition. The vocabulary test results showed that there is a relationship between extensive reading and incidental vocabulary acquisition to a certain degree.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovo se istraživanje bavi utjecajem ekstenzivnog čitanja na slučajno usvajanje vokabulara u učenju engleskog kao stranog jezika. Nekoliko je čimbenika uzeto u obzir pri provođenju istraživanja: dob ispitanika, dob kada su počeli učiti engleski kao strani jezik, njihova posljednja zaključna ocjena iz engleskog te opće čitalačke navike sudionika i njihovo mišljenje o utjecaju čitanja na usvajanje vokabulara. Istraživački uzorak uključuje 107 učenika osječke osnovne i srednje škole. Sudionici su pročitali izmijenjenu verziju zadnjeg poglavlja George Orwellove Životinjske farme te riješili dva zadataka provjere znanja vokabulara, od kojih se jedan odnosio na oblik riječi, a drugi na značenje riječi. Upitnik je pokazao da, iako sudionici nemaju naviku čitati, kada čitaju smatraju čitanje korisnim za učenje vokabulara. Rezultati testa iz vokabulara pokazuju da u određenoj mjeri postoji veza između ekstenzivnog čitanja i slučajnog usvajanja vokabulara..
