The results were as follows. Initially, incidental vocabulary learning is possible by using language learner literature. While incidental vocabulary learning had been taken place just 10 times(2.0%) among the control group during reading process, the experimental group had made incidental vocabulary learning 40 times(8.0%). Therefore language learner literature had a positive impact on incidental vocabulary learning. Secondly, it is possible to acquire foreign language learning by using language learner literature as comprehensible input(i+1) mechanism. At the beginning, the language level of the controlled group was slightly higher than that of the experimental group with a difference of 34 words; however, at the end, their score was narrowed down to 2.8 points between the two groups. There were no significant difference on <봄밤> vocabulary list and summary as the experimental group scored 36 and the control group scored 44.
