ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to verify whether the HSK level 4 or 5 vocabulary achieves internal homogeneity in the case of Koreans. We classified HSK level 4 and 5 vocabulary as equivalence words and non-equivalence words. We hypothesized that the mean score of equivalents would be lower than that of non-equivalence words. As a result, the average score difference between the equivalence words and non-equivalence words of the Level 4 verb was 38.40 points, the score difference between the adjective equivalent words and the non-equivalence word was 35.3 points, and the score difference between the adverb equivalence words and the non-equivalence word was 33.70 points. The difference between the average score for grade 4 equivalent and non-equivalent words was 35.8 points, which was very large. The average score for level 4 verbs is 79.5 points, the average score for adjectives is 80.8 points, and the average score for adverbs is 73.5 points. The average score difference between equivalence words and non- equivalence of level 5 verbs was 31.7 points, the difference between equivalence words and non-equivalence words was 29.2 points, and the difference between adverb equivalence words and non-equivalence words was 26.3 points. The difference between the average score of level 5 equivalence words and non-equivalent words was 29.1 points. The average score of level 5 verbs is 82.7 points, the average score of adjectives is 82.1 points, and the average score of adverbs is 83.2 points. Looking at the results of the above research analysis, it can be confirmed that the current HSK level 4 vocabulary is not homogeneous in difficulty between the vocabulary words for Koreans. It can be seen that the level 5 vocabulary of the new HSK is not uniform in difficulty between the same words.
