Shin Dongkwang (Gwangju National University of Education)
Lee Yongsang (Yeungnam University)

The purpose of this study was to measure the size of vocabulary and collocation knowledge that Korean elementary-level students and for this the data were collected from October to November 2018. That is, Receptive Listening Vocabulary Size Test, Productive Vocabulary Size Test, Receptive Collocation Size Test, and Productive Collocation Size Test were administered to 160 subjects. The former two VSTs were based on the first 2,000 words of the Korea English Basic Word List embedded in the 2015 Revised National Curriculum of English and the latter two CSTs were developed using the 2,000 collocations of the COCA_MWU20(Shin, Chon, Lee, & Park, 2018). The results are as follows: ① The amount of receptive vocabulary knowledge is 1,144 words (estimated minimum size), and the productive vocabulary knowledge is 962 words, ② The amount of receptive collocation knowledge is 832 collocations (estimated minimum size), and the productive collocation knowledge is 802 collocations, ③ All kinds of vocabulary and collocation knowledge is closely related (r > .7). ④ It turned out that learning both single words and collocations at the same time and polysemes of a word is more effective to increase the size of vocabulary and collocation knowledge. Finally, some pedagogical implications were suggested in conclusions.
