Abstract

This paper conducted a survey on word associations for Chinese learners to examine the cognitive characteristics of college students in their 20s and apply them to vocabulary education methods. 50 learners with different levels of Chinese were presented with 10 nouns, 10 verbs, and 10 adjectives, and they were asked to write 5 words each that were associated with them. This result was classified into a series relationship and a combination relationship for vocabulary learning. As society changes, it can be seen that the results of some words are changing from their previous perceptions. These days, college students in their 20s, who value personal life and experience, have found that some abstract words have a wide variety of reaction words. In particular, in the case of the adjective 'red', it was found that many words that did not appear in the previous survey appeared. The most common types of reaction words for nouns ‘book’ and ‘movie’ were 130 and 112, the most common were 170 for the verb ‘like’ nd 146 for the adjective ‘pleasure’. Based on the survey results, a vocabulary education method that can be applied to beginners was proposed. Existing mind maps were applied, word association relay speaking, word bingo games, and thought-matching games were proposed. Repeated exposure through textbooks is also important in vocabulary education, but in the native language environment, textbooks are based, but it will be effective for learning to find and get to know the words learners want to know on their own.
