 note = {Previous studies have shown that explicit vocabulary learning leads to
vocabulary acquisition; however, the link between implicit vocabulary
learning and vocabulary acquisition seems to be under-researched. It was
unclear whether vocabulary development was positively or adversely
affected by attending English classes and preparing for examinations. In
order to address this issue, this research investigates the vocabulary size of
78 first-year university students in 2018. The vocabulary size was measured
at the beginning and at the end of the school year using the Vocabulary Size
Test (Nation & Beglar, 2007). It was found that students gained about 300
words on average through the year. The result shows that even though the
students received limited explicit instruction on the vocabulary tested, they
generally improved their English vocabulary over time. Their attendance
rate and their scores in the review tests, however, were found to have no
significant associations with the vocabulary gain.},
