The phrase "learning word meanings from context" refers to two different things. One of these, sometimes called "incidental learning" refers to the type of context exemplified when a teacher introduces the meaning of a new word by placing the word in a sentence or paragraph to communicate the word's definition. The other, referred to as "pedagogical context" or "instructional context" refers to those situations where students learn words during the natural act of reading, when -- usually after several exposures to the word -- the context of the material conveys the meaning.
