| 520 | [ ] |a The Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT) is widely used to assesses the vocabulary sixe of second-language learnes of English. The test assesses learners’ s knowledge of words of different friquencies within general English and high-frequency words within academic texts. We used the VLT to measure the English vocabulary size of Chinese university students of English in Hong Kong where a large vocabulary is required for academic anf professional success. Students achieved high scores for high-frequency counts from dated word lists of American words and at the lower frequency levels may not be representative of current Hong Kong English. We complied a corpus of 14,7 million words of Hong Kong English. Cross-checking revealed a number of VLT words that do not occur in the corpus. We argue that these words are not required by English speakers in Hong Kong and that lowest word frequency levels of the VLT should be revised to reflect mordern Hong Kong English |
