Mostafa Mirzaii, The present study compared the effectiveness of Implicit Vocabulary Learning (IVL) through Extensive Reading with that of Explicit Vocabulary Learning (EVL) through activities requiring Deep-level Cognitive Processing on the long-term vocabulary recall of 62 Iranian intermediate EFL learners. The research method was quasi-experimental; the participants under investigation were divided into two groups: the IVL and the EVL, comprising 30 and 32 eligible participants, respectively. Prior to the treatment, both groups underwent a proficiency test namely, Preliminary English Test (PET), to ensure homogeneity among the participants. In the course of the study, the IVL participants did regular 20-minute in-class extensive reading. The EVL participants, on the other hand, were taught new vocabulary using activities which demanded deep-level cognitive processing. To compare the achievements of the two groups, a pre-test prior to the treatment and a post-test after the treatment were administered, both in the form of a standardized vocabulary test with three subtests meaning, preposition and collocation. Data analyses indicated significant improvement of both groups on the post-test. Concerning the subtests, nevertheless, while the EVL outperformed the IVL on meaning and preposition, the IVL did marginally better on the subtest of collocation.

The present study compared the effectiveness of Implicit Vocabulary Learning (IVL) through Extensive Reading with that of Explicit Vocabulary Learning (EVL) through activities requiring Deep-level Cognitive Processing on the long-term vocabulary recall of 62 Iranian intermediate EFL learners.

Prior to the treatment, both groups underwent a proficiency test namely, Preliminary English Test (PET), to ensure homogeneity among the participants. In the course of the study, the IVL participants did regular 20-minute in-class extensive reading.
