Kim, S. Y., Shin, D., & Kim, K. (2020). Korean college students’ use of vocabulary and collocation according to writing proficiency. Multimedia-Assisted Language Learning, 23(2), 215-235.
This study examined
both lexical and collocational knowledge of Korean college students in relation
to their writing proficiency measured by a diagnostic writing test. The study
analyzed essays written in response to two topics by college students at three
different proficiency levels (high, mid, low). In a comparison of vocabulary
used in the essays, the study noted differences between the proficiency levels
in terms of token and type frequencies. However, the lexical distribution
patterns in reference to graded word-lists were similar across the proficiency
levels. Regardless of the topic, approximately 90% of words used in the essays
were from the first 2K words, and about 95% of words from the first 3K words.
As to learner use of collocation, collocational expressions were more
frequently used by advanced learners, compared to intermediate- or low-level
learners. Despite the difference, collocational distribution patterns according
to the graded collocation-list were also similar across the three proficiency
levels. Regarding part-of-speech-tagged collocation, students tended to overuse
a limited set of patterns, such as AJ-NN, NN-NN, and VP-AVP. Findings are
discussed in more detail, along with pedagogical implications.
