Beschreibung

While vocabulary learning within language classrooms has been researched extensively in the past, extramural language contact is extending opportunities for lexical learning and use beyond the walls of the classroom. Realizing this potential, Sundqvist (2009, p. 24) has introduced the concept of extramural English (EE) to designate the type of “English that learners come in contact with or are involved in outside the walls of the classroom”, for instance, through series, games or social media.
While other European countries, particularly socalled subtitling countries such as Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands, have established research traditions on informal (vocabulary) learning outside formal educational contexts by now (e.g. De Wilde, Brysbaert, & Eyckmans, 2019; Kup-pens, 2010; Olsson & Sylvén, 2015; Persson & Prins, 2012; Peters, 2018; Peters, Noreillie, Heylen, Bulté & Desmet, 2019; Puimège & Peters, 2019; Sundqvist & Sylvén, 2016; Sylvén & Sundqvist, 2017; Verspoor, De Bot, & Van Rein, 2011), other countries, such as Austria, are still in their infancy regarding research on extramural practices.
This article is based on two of the first studies aiming to relate vocabulary learning outcomes to engagement with extramural English in the Austrian context and thus presents a promising opportunity for comparison with previous research.
