This project examines, for the first time, the effectiveness of leisure gaming for the incidental acquisition of vocabulary in a second language. Firstly, the features of the vocabulary that occurs in popular games is analysed using corpus linguistics. Then, to investigate vocabulary gains, an experimental pretest-posttests design is adopted. Participants complete a series of quests in a suitable game guided by previously explored in-game lexical profiles. Finally, the project statistically examines the effect of various factors that have been suggested to influence incidental word learning on participants' vocabulary gains and retention.

本项目首次考察了休闲游戏对偶然习得第二语言词汇的有效性。首先，运用语料库语言学分析了流行游戏中出现的词汇特征。然后，采用实验前测-后测设计来研究词汇增益。参与者在合适的游戏中完成一系列任务，这些任务由之前探索过的游戏内词汇配置文件指导。最后，该项目统计检验了影响偶然词汇学习的各种因素对参与者词汇习得和记忆的影响。
