Abstract
The present research was conducted to examine the relative effectiveness of two instructional approaches to second language vocabulary learning: the “Reading Only” (RO) approach and the “Reading Plus” (RP) approach. To carry out this study, sixty EFL students from Shahed Pre-University Center of Isfahan were selected and divided into two groups of thirty after a standardized test (The Nelson Test) was administered to120 of them to determine group homogeneity. In the “Reading Only” group, the students only read several reading passages. In the “Reading Plus” group, the subjects read passages and then did a series of text-based vocabulary exercises. The analysis of the results revealed a significant difference between the two groups. The results indicated that “Reading Plus” group had significantly outperformed the ‘Reading only’ group. This strongly suggests that the ‘Reading Plus’ approach to foreign language vocabulary learning is highly effective in promoting a deep and stable knowledge of vocabulary.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
