Abstract
The ability to read well is impacted by several factors. Knowledge of Vocabulary, that is its size is an essential aspect influencing the skills of “reading comprehension”. Trhough this research the idea is to increase the understanding how students' vocabulary sizes relate to their understanding levels. There were 200 high school students in this research who were taking a rigorous English language course in preparation for university. Using a correlation analysis, we looked at how well the findings of the Vocabulary Levels Tests matches with the “standardised English Proficiency Test (EPT)” (Nation, 1990). The study claims about a modest relationship (r=0.625) between test takers' scores on the EPT reading comprehension and Vocabulary Levels Tests. Learning a new vocabulary takes place when favourable circumstances for learning are established in the mind. The most important factors in acquiring a larger vocabulary are the frequency and intensity of exposure to new words. Significance of the present study coincides with Paul Nation’s analysis on the correlation between vocab. And reading-writing skills of students.
