“…Krashen (982) claimed the comprehensible input and low affective filter, an anxiety-free environment, are the keys to success in language learning. It is a mandate for the teacher to provide exposure and ensure that the input becomes the students' intake by introducing the learners to an authentic exposure (Akbarian et al, 2020).…”

“…Most of the studies have been focused on the effect of language exposure on vocabulary development or learners' speaking performance (Akbarian et al, 2020;De Wilde et al, 2020;Muñoz, 2014;Nontasee & Sukying, 2021;Peters, 2018;Peters et al, 2019). The findings have revealed the positive effect of language exposure on learners' language proficiency.…”

Language exposure has been empirically evident to enhance language learning. This study examined the relationship among a group of Indonesian secondary students who gain language exposure from various starting periods and their performance and examined whether their number of words and errors in written production differed substantially. The inference was that the number of words' rise reflected the students' writing errors. The analysis results also showed no significant difference between the number of words and errors in hand. The reception of the linguistic input confirmed the importance of the correct input and exposure quality.

“…LA has been considered from the perspective of various variables, e.g., age (Jiménez Catalán, Agustín Llach, Fernández Fontecha, & Canga Alonso, 2014), social class and region (rural versus town speakers) (Dimitríjevic, 1969), and cognitive factors (Hernández Muñoz et al, 2006), exposure and vocabulary proficiency level (Akbarian, Farajollahi, & Jiménez Catalán, 2020), among others. A few studies have also examined the effect of gender (Carcedo González, 1998 and Samper Hernández, 2002, as cited in Agustín Llach & Fernández Fontecha, 2014; Agustín Llach & Fernández Fontecha, 2014).…”

Studies on lexical availability (LA) reveal a different dimension of vocabulary knowledge and development. Likewise, this study explores (a) the relationship between LA and writing ability of male and female learners and (b) differences and similarities between the tokens and types of the words they generated. An LA task and a composition test were administered to 100 (50 males and 50 females) EFL learners. The results highlight a positive correlation between LA and the writing scores for both males and females. Frequency analyses and t‐test results also show no differences between male and female learners in terms of tokens and types of the retrieved words. Thus, lexical availability studies can provide similar pedagogical implications in instructing writing skill for both male and female EFL learners.

“…Numerous studies have investigated the correlation between language exposure and vocabulary (Akbarian et al, 2020;Bisson et al, 2014;Chang & Monaghan, 2019;De Wilde et al, 2020a;Leona et al, 2021), the relationship between language exposure and grammar (Matusevych et al, 2017), speaking (Chan, 2014;Gámez et al, 2018), or language proficiency-listening, speaking, reading, and writing (Altinkamis & Simon, 2020;Al-Zoubi, 2018). Correct grammar is essential in academic writing because it facilitates the precise and exact communication of ideas (Cavaleri & Dianati, 2016).…”

Studying in an international school setting offers an excellent opportunity for students to acquire the target language, English, through abundant language exposure. As observed during classroom observations, several students outperformed their peers in targeted language production despite the same school language exposure. Extramural English is assumed to play a substantial influence. This case study explored the Extramural English exposure of 15 ninth-grade students, the duration of such exposure, and the language accuracy of their academic writing captured after receiving it. A qualitative design was utilised to examine the data acquired from students’ linguistics background survey, daily online logs, interview transcription, and their writing products. The findings reveal that parents are the central agency facilitating language learning. During the eight-week research period, 80% of the students received interactive Extramural English, while 100% were exposed to non-interactive Extramural English. The frequency of receiving Extramural English exposure is more significant than the onset of exposure. A minimal linguistic error was recognised for 29% of average conciseness and 23% of inappropriate punctuation, while other errors were between 1% and 5%. This research highlights the importance of Extramural English exposure to written language accuracy among secondary EFL students.
