Involvement Load of Vocabulary Tasks IELTS preparation Vocabulary Course Books
Authors
Abstract:
The importance of vocabulary is undeniable. EFL learners need sufficient lexicon in order to bea competitive speaker. Lots of strategies have been proposed. The concept of involvement loadwas first introduced by Hulstijn and Laufer (2001). They believed that deeper explanation oflexical information will result in better retention of them. The present study aimed at finding theinvolvement load indexes of vocabulary tasks used in two popular IELTS vocabulary books. Italso intended to find the most applied vocabulary learning strategies by IELTS learners. Datawere gathered from the intensive analysis of 20 selected task of “Oxford Word Skills” and“Advanced Vocabulary In Use”. Also 50 IELTS candidates were asked to fill a questionnaire.The results showed that books applied a variety of activities. The maximum index was 4 and theminimum was 1. The analysis showed that consolidating was used for the tasks with higherinvolvement load indexes. Tasks with lower involvement load indexes had other strategies likediscovery. Data analysis revealed that learners implied different strategies in learningvocabularies. The most popular strategy was germane to determination strategies, which areclustered under discovery Strategy.

Predictive Power of Involvement Load Hypothesis and Technique Feature Analysis across L2 Vocabulary Learning Tasks
Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) and Technique Feature Analysis (TFA) are two frameworks which operationalize depth of processing of a vocabulary learning task. However, there is dearth of research comparing the predictive power of the ILH and the TFA across second language (L2) vocabulary learning tasks. The present study, therefore, aimed to examine this issue across four vocabulary learning...

As Schmidt (2008) states, deeper engagement with new vocabulary as induced by tasks clearly increases the chances of learning those words. This engagement is theoretically clarified by the involvement load hypothesis (ILH, Laufer and Hulstijn, 2001), based on which the involvement index of each task can be measured. The present study was designed to test ILH by evaluating the impact of 4 differ...

This study builds on Laufer and Hulstijn’s (2001) motivational-cognitive construct of task-induced involvement in learning vocabulary and addresses itself to its strong claim that the depth of processing is the overriding factor in learning words. The paper first re-examines the effect of processing load and then of task type on the initial learning and retention of words. To do so, 60 EFL lear...
