This is justified as vocabulary range offers an approximate but useful guide to the level of a course or a testing system. We hypothesize that the language competence at different levels of our program matches various standard proficiency examinations. Paul Nation＇s Range software was used both in its standard form using his three BASEWRD files and in an adapted form adding the authors＇ own BASEWRD files extrapolated from various levels of our textbook series. This enabled us to compare the vocabulary range of our courses with that of both national and international examinations where word lists are available or recoverable. Research results supported the hypotheses suggested.展开更多

The results in the PLT reveal thatthe productive vocabulary knowledge of the Japanese and Chineseuniversity students at the 2,000 word-level is not sufficient todeal with tasks required on the English courses of universitylevel. The results in AVT reveal that the academic vocabularyknowledge of the students is largely at the recognition stage,indicating that the students are defective at using and producingthe academic words they have learned. In A VT the performancesof the Japanese and Chinese students in some of the words arefound to have significant differences. The factors influencing thedifferences between the two groups of students are discussed.展开更多
