2015 개정 영어과 교육과정에 따른 중2 영어 교과서 어휘 분포 분석

초록

This study investigates how the vocabulary in Middle School English 2 textbooks is distributed in order to see the effect of vocabulary control of 2015 Revised English National Curriculum on vocabulary size in different textbooks. Listening and reading texts of seven textbooks were analyzed in terms of lexical sophistication, lexical density, and the frequency of new words. The results show quite a big difference in vocabulary size across textbooks that have been under the 90% vocabulary control of 2015 Revised English National Curriculum; both the frequency of graded word tokens and the number and presentation of advanced word types are significantly different. The amount of content words in reading texts also varies significantly. A few suggestions are made for further research along with limitations of the study.
