A computer-based study compared the effect of three tsk types on incidental L2 vocabulary learning, on task-induced amount of dictionary actiity and time-on-task. Ninety-six Chinese ESL students read a text containing twelve unfamiliar target items and performed one of the three tasks: a form-oriented production task, a form-oriented comprehension task or a meaning-oriented production-task, a form-oriented comprehension task or a meaning-oriented task. Thetext was presented on computer and the words could be looked up in electronic glosses.The results of immediate and delayed vocabulary tests showed that the two form-oriented tasks yielded better results than the meaning-oriented task.There was no significant difference in time-on-task, but there was a significant difference in amount of dictionary activity the tasks generated. We concluded, therefore, that an important factor determining task effectiveness for vocabulary learning is the amount of word-related activity that the task induces.
