Common Gairaigo Corresponding to High-frequency and Academic English-- Are Japanese Students Ready for Foreign Study?

要旨

For Japanese students considering university study in an English-speaking country, high-frequency vocabulary for everyday communication, and academic vocabulary for lectures and homework are essential. The first part of this study indicates that the average Japanese university student has deficiencies in both types of vocabulary; however, English-based loanwords in Japanese are already helping them. A second part of this study reveals that a quarter of the academic words correspond to loanwords.
