English Language Teaching, 2013, vol. 6, issue 3, 51

Abstract: This paper investigated some dominant features and influential factors in the formation and developmental process of the English mental lexicon of Chinese EFL learners. Data were collected by means of word tests. The result of the data analysis shows- (1) Chinese EFL learners acquire very little of the overall word knowledge; and (2) aspects of the multifaceted word knowledge increase with the improvement of their language proficiency.
