This article reports the results of two studies on the vocabulary growth of advanced learners of English as a foreign language in an English-medium degree programme. Growth in learners’ written receptive and productive vocabularies was investigated in one cross-sectional and one longitudinal study over three years. The effect of word frequency on vocabulary development and the growth in academic vocabulary were also investigated. The overall results of the two studies suggested that learners’ receptive vocabularies did not grow significantly, whereas the longitudinal data indicated expansion of productive vocabularies by about 10%. Both receptive and productive knowledge of academic vocabulary improved significantly in the longitudinal data. Frequency seemed to have a stable overall effect in vocabulary development. However, evidence for an implicational scale among the frequency levels was obtained only for the receptive test.
期刊介绍：
The Language Learning Journal (LLJ) provides a forum for scholarly contributions on current aspects of foreign language and teaching. LLJ is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is intended for an international readership, including foreign language teachers, language teacher educators, researchers and policy makers. Contributions, in English, tend to assume a certain range of target languages. These are usually, but not exclusively, the languages of mainland Europe and ‘Community Languages’; other languages, including English as a foreign language, may also be appropriate, where the discussion is sufficiently generalisable. The following are key areas of interest: -Relationships between policy, theory and practice- Pedagogical practices in classrooms and less formal settings Foreign language learning/teaching in all phases, from early learners to higher and adult education- Policy and practice in the UK and other countries- Classroom practice in all its aspects- Classroom-based research- Methodological questions in teaching and research- Multilingualism and multiculturalism- New technologies and foreign languages
