Abstract
The purpose of this presentation is to examine about the role of vocabulary lists for kanji and vocabulary learning in intermediate and advanced level studies. Vocabulary lists are mainly used as reading materials to provide information about the reading, meaning and part of speech of unfamiliar words. The roles of vocabulary lists are to reduce learners' burden and help learners focus on new words. However, there are few studies about the role of vocabulary lists. In kanji and vocabulary learning, vocabulary lists are not used much, but these lists have potential to enrich learners' vocabulary. Lists including collocations, case relations, synonyms, autonyms and relational words can provide knowledge, help learners learn by themselves and 'deepen' their vocabulary. In this presentation, the use and potential of vocabulary lists will be discussed.
