Abstract:
More and more attention has been paid to the incidental learning of vocabulary and multiword expressions in different modes of input in recent years. This paper reviews empirical studies that have examined the incidental learning of vocabulary and multiword expressions in four modes of second language input (reading, listening, watching, and reading while listening). It was found that most studies concentrated on the learning of vocabulary and collocations rather than other types of multiword expressions. More attention should be paid to the incidental learning of different types of multiword expressions in future studies.
