Аннотация:
Extensive reading, which refers to reading large amounts of level-appropriate and engaging texts for general comprehension, has been recognized as a highly effective means of vocabulary acquisition among teenagers. This article explores the role of extensive reading in improving adolescent learners’ lexical knowledge. Through the integration of these theoretical views with practical classroom insights, the discussion highlights how extensive reading enhances vocabulary through comprehensible input, repeated exposure, contextual inference, morphological awareness, and recycling of lexical items. Furthermore, it examines the motivational dimension of extensive reading, showing how autonomy, choice, and enjoyment sustain long-term engagement with texts, which in turn amplifies incidental vocabulary growth.
