Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition from a Bilingual Textbook of Financial Mathematics
Original language description
This paper deals with the incidental acquisition of vocabulary of a foreign language by university students who work for one semester with a bilingual textbook of financial and actuarial mathematics. The conducted case study investigates if students whenworking with the textbook incidentally acquire significantly more of the basic terminology from the field of finance in a foreign language than before they start using the textbook even though they undertake the whole course of Financial and Actuarial Mathematics in the Czech language and the students' interest in acquiring the vocabulary is entirely voluntary. The use of bilingual textbooks could be an effective incentive to raise interest in the foreign language learning.
