Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we aimed to clarify the relationship between vocabulary level and the four English skills, "listening," "speaking," "reading," and "writing." We examined the correlation between the English vocabulary levels and the skills of 1) listening, 2) speaking, 3) reading, and 4) writing of college students, using vocabulary that is the foundation of English proficiency as the experimental material. As a result, there were no significant differences in any case. In other words, the results showed that those with high vocabulary skills were not necessarily high in each of the four English skills.
