| Summary: | The receptive knowledge of 442 non-English majored university students in a General
English program in Vietnam was measured with Webb, Sasao, and Ballance’s (2017) New Vocabulary
Levels Test. It was found that despite 10 years of formal English language instruction, nearly half of the
participants had not mastered the most frequent 1,000 words and more than 90% had not mastered the most
frequent 2,000 words. The study calls for more attention to high-frequency words in English language
instruction in Vietnamese EFL context. |
