This study explores how vocabulary learning strategy usage and skills in the four language domains relate to participants’ increase in vocabulary size and to the learning of specific vocabulary items over a certain period of time. Sixty-one advanced L1 Arabic L2 learners of English read target words in semi-authentic reading materials and were instructed to either guess the meaning from context or consult a dictionary. Pre- and delayed post-tests assessed vocabulary size and knowledge of the target vocabulary items. Results showed that learning through inferencing, but not learning through dictionary use, depended on learners’ familiarity with the particular learning strategy. Additionally, note taking and reading comprehension influenced lexical knowledge and acquisition in complex ways.

通过词汇翻译和推理，语言技能和策略使用对词汇学习的影响。

本研究探讨了四个语言领域中词汇学习策略的使用和技能如何与参与者词汇量的增加以及特定时间段内特定词汇项的学习有关。61 名高级 L1 阿拉伯语 L2 英语学习者阅读半真实阅读材料中的目标词，并被指示从上下文猜测含义或查阅词典。前测和延迟后测评估词汇量和目标词汇项目的知识。结果表明，通过推理学习，而不是通过使用字典学习，取决于学习者对特定学习策略的熟悉程度。此外，记笔记和阅读理解以复杂的方式影响词汇知识和习得。
