中文摘要

以臺灣地區英語文學習者為對象的學術研究中，似有頗多乃直接援用原本是為英語母語及／或英語為第二語的學習者所設計編寫的教材及測驗。由於英語文在臺灣係屬外語，臺灣的英語文學習者所能享有的學習環境及機會，甚難與英語母語及第二語學習者相比擬。有鑑於此，筆者乃依據臺灣地區英語文學習者的英語文程度及其面臨的特殊困難，以Bauman及Culligan（1995）修訂的General Service List為素材，精選一份總計約460字的英文字彙表。本文詳述筆者編選此英文字彙表所依循的選納及排除的十項原則，筆者相信依據這些原則選列的英文字彙，應該更適合用來教導臺灣地區的英語文學習者及／或檢核其學習英文字彙的成效。
英文摘要

Many studies conducted with Taiwanese learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) have tended to utilize materials or assessment instruments originally developed for learners of English as a first language (EL1) and/or English as a second language (ESL), despite the fact that there is a considerable difference among EL1, ESL, and EFL learning contexts. In light of this enormous difference, this paper presents and describes a linguistically-based list of approximately 460 candidate words that may be used both as target items to be taught to Taiwanese EFL learners and as test items to evaluate the effectiveness of vocabulary instruction.Carefully selected from the 2,284 headwords in the revised General Service List (Bauman & Culligan, 1995), this list of target words took into account the English language proficiency levels of, and the specific difficulties encountered by, Taiwanese EFL learners, especially the ”linguistically disadvantaged” ones. These target words were chosen according to five principles of word selection: the level of difficulty and familiarity of words, word length, the degree of phonetic and/or orthographic regularity of words, the six syllable types, as well as the phonological, orthographic, and morphological features of words. Also taken into consideration were five principles of word exclusion: words with more than one possible pronunciation, compound words written as one word or with a hyphen, polysyllabic words containing the letter x, words with silent letter(s) that do not serve a useful purpose, and words that have alternative spelling forms.
