Résumé

This sfudy examines the relationship
between working memory capacity and vocabulary
retention in English as a L2. The study was
conducted with seventeen advanced speakers of
English. Statistical analyses revealed that working
memory capacity correlates significantiy with L2
vocabulary retention, This correlation was
interpreted as an indication that higher spans are
better able to comprehend and produce new
vocabulary items in a L2 than lower spans.
