Abstract

Due to the factors such as time pressure, workload and teachers' perception of incidental learning, most of the teachers prefer to teach vocabulary intentionally for short-term efficiency. They are struggling to help learners to acquire vocabulary effectively and underestimate incidental vocabulary learning, relying on natural instincts favoring rote learning. The efficacy of incidental vocabulary learning is neglected by teachers who do not have sufficient knowledge of this approach. The current study aims to explore what incidental vocabulary learning strategies teachers can use to help the student expand their range of vocabulary in a more effective and motivational way and enrich learners' vocabulary knowledge. The issues are addressed by reviewing recent studies integrating author's teaching context. As conclusion, incidental vocabulary learning is considered to be a good one to improve students' vocabulary in a long-term period. Three strategies which are providing different modes of comprehensible input, increasing the frequency of exposure through different types of repetition and facilitating learners with strategies to become an autonomous learner are proposed.
