Keywords:
Explicit learning, Implicit learning, Vocabulary acquisitionAbstract
Vocabulary learning is central and dominant in language acquisition and crucial to the learners' overall language acquisition. One of significant reason of the review is learners encounter difficulties with text and reading. This review is an attempt to investigate the significance of vocabulary knowledge and explain its techniques (explicit/implicit, incidental/intentional) and their effects on reading comprehension, and it can be said that, this review attempts to explain the previous studies on explicit or intentional versus implicit or incidental learning vocabulary. During the review, different explicit and implicit vocabulary techniques is used and explained. The results of this study have important implications for the classroom and make a strong case for implicit and explicit vocabulary instruction.
