| Program Summary |
| We investigated two factors affecting long-term L2 word acquisition: frequency of occurrence (2-21) and task type: reading, reading +Focus on Form, and reading +Focus on Forms. Overall, the latter fared best on four tests of word knowledge. Frequency of occurrence contributed differently to different task types on different tests. 49 words |
