N2 - The study investigated the effects of multiple-choice glosses (MCGs) (L1 and L2) and frequency on academic vocabulary learning. Twelve college students in Korea participated in the within-samples study. The paired-samples t-statistics showed the significant learning gains between pre-test and post-test after the provision of MCGs during reading. However, the lower level students significantly improved from pre-test to post-test with L1 MCGs, not with L2 MCGs, while the advanced level more benefited from L2 MCG (p < .01) than L1 MCGs (p < .05). The results of the frequency showed that the development of the new words required at least 6 times regardless of types of gloss languages. The theoretic and pedagogical discussions were made at the conclusion.
