| Abstract | This brief exploratory report investigates the receptive and productive levels of a tested-in L3 class and makes suggestions about their vocabulary learning needs based on this. After analyzing the nature of the L3 target vocabulary it then examines the extent that these students produce this in an IELTS writing examination. Examination scripts of these higher level (tested-in) IELTS candidates (n=15) reveal minimal usage of receptive vocabulary above the 1,000 word level and even less from the AWL and VTL lists. I conclude by making some comments on activating receptive vocabulary in classrooms and a suggestion that vocabulary be taught in the writing classes. |
