Que. 57 Directions - Read the passage given below and answer all the questions that follow.
However, nowadays, the importance of vocabulary as also learning a language has become more
accepted. Vocabulary is a basic component of language proficiency which provides the basis for learners
‘performance in other skills, such as speaking, reading, listening and writing. (Nation, 2008) Therefore,
acquiring vocabulary it is a fundamental process when learning an L2 because it will not only develop the
writing skills, but also the remaining ones. As a consequence, learners will become competent on their level of
language because it seems that the four skills will be hand in hand. Between many forms or learning vocabulary,
it is the possibility of learning vocabulary incidentally. Hunt and Beglar (1998) point out that “many vocabularies
are learned incidentally through extensive reading and listening”. For this reason, motivating learners to read and
listen extensively can provide them with great opportunities to learn new vocabularies.
