AB - The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of Korean primary school students on the vocabulary of their English textbook. It also investigates the vocabulary proficiency level of Korean primary school students and analyzes the associations among student variables (grade, private tutoring, oversea training/schooling experience). One thousand thirty-three primary school students participated in this study. A vocabulary test and questionnaires were used to collect the data. For the data analysis, Crosstabs and Multiple Response were used. The results of this study were as followings; 1) 44.9% students were accorded a vocabulary proficiency level 2 (500word level), 38% of them a vocabulary proficiency level 3 (750 word level) and 6% of them a vocabulary proficiency level 4 (1100word level). 2) Most of the students recognized that the vocabulary of their English text book was not difficult. In addition,49% of the students mentioned that over 70% of the target words were known words and overall 79.5% of them mentioned that more than 50% of the target words were known words. These results were associated fully with private tutoring and oversea schooling experience. 3) Most of the students recognized that they should and can learn at least 4 new words per hour. This result was affected fully by private tutoring and partially by oversea schooling experience. 4) A group of words associated with school life were used the most by the students and they want to learn more specific names of concrete objects or actions.
