| Abstract | This study investigates the impact of sharingresearch findings on lexical coverage and vocabularysize with L2 English students. This practicalknowledge can be applied toward reading books andother materials. Research has suggested that knowingapproximately 98% of the words in a text can lead toadequate reading comprehension (Hu & Nation,2000). Such information, paired with knowledge of astudent's own vocabulary size (Nation & Beglar,2007), can potentially aid students in setting L2vocabulary and reading goals. Ninety-nine universitystudents in Thailand participated in this study. Itutilizes a pretest-posttest design, with the sharing ofresearch findings on lexical coverage and vocabularysize with students as the treatment. Surveys measuring motivation and attitudes toward studyingL2 vocabulary were conducted before and after thetreatment. Results were analyzed using principalcomponent analysis, revealing three clear componentsamong 12 traits. A comparison of the mean scoresbetween components in the pretest and posttestsurveys revealed statistically significant differencesfor two of the components (p=.038 and .002). Thechanges in the scores from both components indicateimprovements in motivation and attitudes towardstudying L2 vocabulary. |
