The ability to guess meaning from context is a valuable skill for developing vocabulary knowledge. Although during extensive reading, dictionaries are typically not used, the new integrated dictionary in Xreading allows learners to immediately access definitions as they read. This research is investigating the effect that this online integrated dictionary usage has on the learner's ability to guess from context.
