However, despite the recent increase of studies in this field, there are very few studies focusing on non-Western languages, including Japanese, compared to Indo-European languages. To fill the gap, this study explored the process of Japanese vocabulary acquisition through extensive reading. Data were collected through a pretest, eight immediate tests, a posttest, and asemistructured interview. The results indicate that extensive reading is especially beneficial in consolidating learners ’vocabulary knowledge and in encouraging learners to reflect on their interests and needs in vocabulary learning.  \nRésumé  \nLe rôle et l’importance de la lecture dans l’apprentissage du vocabulaire en langue seconde sont sujets de discussion pour de nombreux chercheurs en raison de la richesse et de lavariété de la langue écrite en comparaison au discours oral (Horst, 2005 ; Nation, 2001) . Toutefois, malgré la récente hausse d’études effectuées dans ce domaine, très peu d’études se concentrent sur les langues non-occidentales, incluant le japonais, en comparaison aux langues indo-européennes. Pour combler cette lacune, cette étude a exploré le processusd’acquisition du vocabulaire en japonais par la lecture assidue. Les données ont été recueillies grâce à un pré-test, huit tests immédiats, un post-test et une entrevue semistructurée. Les résultats indiquent que la lecture assidue est particulièrement bénéfique pour la consolidation du vocabulaire des apprenants et pour encourager les apprenants à réfléchir à leurs intérêts et à leurs besoins dans l’apprentissage du vocabulaire.  \nThe Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics: 17, 2 (2014): 1-22  \nCJAL * RCLA Senoo & Yonemoto 2  \nVocabulary Learning Through Extensive Reading:  \nA Case Study  \nIntroduction  \nIn the past, despite the importance of vocabulary in communication, the field of vocabulary acquisition had been neglected until the late 1980s. In light of some of the shortcomings of communicative language teaching and the underlying assumption that second language (L2) vocabulary can be developed through natural, communicative exposure as in first language (L1) vocabulary development, some researchers started to notice that vocabulary acquisition is a central aspect of language learning and an enormous task. With the growth of classroom-centred research, we now see the reality that,“not only do the majority of students studying foreign languages cite vocabulary as their number one priority, but it is often considered a priority by teachers as well”(Knight, 1994, p. 285) . This is why the issue of how to better acquire L2 vocabulary has increasingly drawn the attention of learners and teachers.  \nVocabulary Acquisition Through Extensive Reading  \nOver the past decade, the role and importance of reading in L2 vocabulary learning have been discussed by many researchers because of the richness and variety of vocabulary in written texts compared to oral discourse (Horst, 2005; Nation, 2001) . On the pedagogical level, one of the major focuses on reading in L2 learning is the extensive reading (ER) approach. According to Day and Bamford (1998), Palmer first applied this term in foreign language pedagogy in the early 20th century to distinguish it from intensive reading (IR), which is reading word for word; and in Palmer’s view, ER is “real-world reading but for a pedagogical purpose”(p. 5) . Although the reader’s attention is not on the language but the content, so that the texts are read for pleasure and information, reading in the ER approach is planned for the purpose of language learning.
