A Vocabulary Frequency Analysis of a TESOL Certificate Course
James R. Brawn,David A. Leaper 한국응용언어학회 2014 응용 언어학 Vol.30 No.2
This paper reports on a study that established the vocabulary coverage required for the reading materials in a TESOL Certificate course in Korea and compared it to the vocabulary knowledge of its participants. A corpus of 570,000 words was formed from the eight required readings of the course and were then analyzed using Nation’s (2006) list of the 14,000 most common word families. The corpus reached the 95% and 98% thresholds in the 3000 and 6000 most frequent word bands respectively, although it varied somewhat according to the text. The knowledge of participants’ vocabulary was assessed by a vocabulary size test, and was found to be mostly sufficient for the 95% threshold. The implications of investigating course difficulty through vocabulary frequency and the assessment of participants’ vocabulary knowledge are discussed in relation to the reading purposes of a TESOL certificate program.
