Due to the factors such as time pressure, workload and teachers' perception of incidental learning, most of the teachers prefer to teach vocabulary intentionally for short-term efficiency. They are struggling to help learners to acquire vocabulary effectively and underestimate incidental vocabulary learning, relying on natural instincts favoring rote learning. The efficacy of incidental vocabulary learning is neglected by teachers who do not have sufficient knowledge of this approach. The current study aims to explore what incidental vocabulary learning strategies teachers can use to help the student expand their range of vocabulary in a more effective and motivational way and enrich learners' vocabulary knowledge. The issues are addressed by reviewing recent studies integrating author's teaching context. As conclusion, incidental vocabulary learning is considered to be a good one to improve students' vocabulary in a long-term period. Three strategies which are providing different modes of comprehensible input, increasing the frequency of exposure through different types of repetition and facilitating learners with strategies to become an autonomous learner are proposed.

This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of using explicit instruction versus incidental learning in enhancing lexical collocational knowledge among third-year English majors at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Translation, Misr University for Science and Technology. For the purposes of this study, 60 students were divided into two experimental (i.e. explicit instruction and incidental learning) and one control group. A lexical collocation test which consists of two parts, namely, receptive and productive, and a writing quality test were administered for three groups after the treatment. A 10-session treatment was administered for the experimental groups' students, while the control group students followed their regular method. Results revealed a clear advantage for explicit instruction as the explicit instruction group significantly outperformed the incidental learning group and the control group both in receptive and productive lexical knowledge. Results also indicated that the explicit instruction group students outperformed both the incidental and the control groups in the quality of writing. The incidental learning group also reflected some collocation gains with better performance than the control group.
