   Sammanfattning : L2 vocabulary learning is a sizeable challenge for all EFL students. Particularly, the lexical threshold for reading is a substantial learning feat requiring time and effort. Vocabulary research indicates that incidental learning alone is not sufficient for learners to achieve a functional EFL vocabulary. LÄS MER

5. 4. Is the Echo English series relevant for advanced learners? : -A study on lexical character and recycling in two Swedish EFL textbooks for upper secondary school

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på grundnivå, Örebro universitet/Institutionen för humaniora, utbildnings- och samhällsvetenskap

   Författare :Magnus Ejnarsson; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Incidental learning; textbook analysis; recycling; pedagogy;

   Sammanfattning : This study aims to provide additional research into how Swedish EFL textbooks support incidental vocabulary learning through reading texts, specifically for textbooks aimed at upper secondary school, expecting a greater emphasis on recycling mid- and low-frequency words. The study has investigated the lexical character of two textbooks, Echo English 5 and Echo English 7, as well as how they recycle lemmas and how well they recycle lemmas from the mid- and low-frequency bands.
