초록

This study attempts to glean information on the lexical system of Korean EFL learners through word association tests. Two word association tests were given in English, in both spoken and written modes, to university freshmen with no overseas experience. The results were different from those found in previous studies. Participants showed a parasitic relation between English and Korean in that responses to English stimuli were mediated by Korean, even for participants of higher proficiency. It is suggested that this is the result of a lack of strong association between English items, which may reflect decontextualized rote memorization of English forms in a way that is strongly linked to Korean related forms.
