수능 영어 시험과 수능-EBS 연계 교재에 사용된 어휘에 대한 분석: 읽기 시험을 중심으로

초록

The present study compares College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) English reading tests and EBS suneungteukgang yeongeo yeongyeok, EBS CSAT-prep English coursebooks, concerning lexical sophistication, lexical density and lexical diversity. Chi-square tests showed that insofar as lexical sophistication was concerned, there was a significant difference between the CSAT English reading tests and the EBS prep coursebooks at both the micro-level and the macro-level. No such differences were confirmed in the cases of lexical density and lexical diversity. The work concludes that the increase of the difficulty level of vocabulary in the CSAT English reading tests since the 2011 academic year was not due to the difficulty level of vocabulary in the EBS prep coursebooks, but to the difficulty level of vocabulary in the test items that have got nothing to do with the coursebooks.
