existence of content and formal schemata. Anderson
(1980) defines schemata as ‘..., complex, units of
knowledge that organize much of what we know about
general categories of objects, classes of events,…’.
Research has shown that stories have schematic
structures and that readers employ them to both
facilitate and enhance comprehension and recall. The
most recent story schema model, proposed by Hatch
(1992), includes ‘an abstract, an orientation, a story
line, a resolution, and a coda’. In order to test the
adequacy of Hatch's model, seven popular American
short stories were selected and the formal schema of
each story was represented in the form of a tree
diagram. Results demonstrated the inadequacy of
Hatch's Model for the natural, relatively long, short
stories. As a result, two more elements were added to
complement the model.

Although incidental reading is often considered an invaluable source of vocabulary learning, it seems to be such a slow and error-prone process that it needs to be supplemented with explicit instruction. In order to design and assess practical activities for vocabulary learning and retention, researchers have presented several techniques and models, from which the Involvement Load Hypothesis appears to be the most popular and of widespread use by ELT practitioners. The current paper presents a detailed criticism of the Hypothesis, arguing that it is unclear in identifying the model components, making the determination and measurement of the involvement load of learning tasks rather tricky.

In order to design and assess practical activities for vocabulary learning and retention, researchers have presented several techniques and models, from which the Involvement Load Hypothesis appears to be the most popular and of widespread use by ELT practitioners. The current paper presents a detailed criticism of the Hypothesis, arguing that it is unclear in identifying the model components, making the determination and measurement of the involvement load of learning tasks rather tricky. Therefore, the current paper suggests an alternative model, namely the Cognitive Load Framework, which is claimed to be more clearly operationalized, more conveniently practicable, and more easily measurable.

Not only is it an attempt to provide the reader with some of the revealing findings these works have to offer but it also tends to critically discuss some of the methodological issues associated with them. It starts off discussing the works done on phrasal verbs in general corpora, then goes on to review the studies dealt with the combinations in learner corpora and ends up with looking into the research focused on the presentation of the phrasal verbs in ELT materials. It is hoped that the methodological issues addressed in the study would be taken into account by the interested researchers in their future research attempts.
