There has been a great deal of interest in second language vocabulary studies regarding the potential of reading as a source of incidental vocabulary learning. More recently, several studies have also focused on comparing reading with other input modes, such as listening, or reading-while-listening. Among these studies there are two – Brown et al. (2008) and Vidal (2011) – that have been extensively cited because of the evidence they provided regarding the differential effects of reading versus listening in promoting incidental vocabulary gains. The present study presents different arguments for replication of these two original studies as well as specific ideas on how such replications could be conducted.

人们对第二语言词汇研究非常感兴趣，认为阅读作为附带词汇学习来源的潜力。最近，一些研究还集中于将阅读与其他输入模式（例如听力或边听边读）进行比较。这些研究中有两项——Brown 等人。(2008) 和 Vidal (2011)——它们被广泛引用，因为他们提供了关于阅读与听力在促进附带词汇量增长方面的不同效果的证据。本研究提出了复制这两项原始研究的不同论点，以及如何进行此类复制的具体想法。
