Abstract:Vocabulary is the foundation of foreign language learning. Since Nagy, Herman and Anderson put forward the concept of Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition (IVA), the researchers in China also concentrated on the study in this field. This thesis is to classify and discuss the results of Chinese researches, to make a thorough exploration to IVA in different aspects in English learning, such as reading, writing, listening and speaking skills, to figure out the related limitation of the study on IVA. On the basis of previous researches (both theoretical and empirical), this paper suggested that researchers should devise different tasks to investigate IVA from different perspectives in the experimental researches.
