This study attempts to measure Japanese junior college students' attainment of basic English grammar and vocabulary introduced in junior high school textbooks and to inquire into relationship of grammatical abilities and a working knowledge of vocabulary towards overall English proficiency (OEP).1. 265 junior college students were tested upon 53 grammatical items sampled from junior high school textbooks. The result showed that 57.9% of the whole items was mastered, while the 3ィイD1rdィエD1 year items and interrogatives were problematic for the subjects. The erroneous outputs were collected to account for the subjects' interlanguage. The same test was conducted through 1996 to 1999 [total subjects : 1353], the result showing the decline of grammatical abilities with statistical significance.2. The vocabulary list of junior high school textbooks was made to sample the test words. 51 subjects were tested upon vocabulary knowledge assumed as composed of six underling abilities to interrelate meaning (M), sound (S) and spelling (O : orthography), i.e. M【double arrow】S, S【double arrow】O, O【double arrow】M. The rank of six abilities was O→M, S→M, S→O, M→O/O→S, M→S in this order. The subjects with high English proficiency performed better on SM, SO and MO.3. The results of grammar and vocabulary tests were compared with that of the close test which was used as an index of overall English proficiency (OEP)[46 subjects]. Some of the main findings are : OM, SM, SO, and MS had effects on OEP, while SM, SO, and MO, characterizing the subjects with high OEP, on a grammatical ability. Especially SM and SO had effects both on OEP and a grammatical ability, indicating that sound processing abilities are somehow related to acquiring grammar and thus to successful language learning.

本研究旨在测量日本大专生对初中课本中介绍的基本英语语法和词汇的掌握情况，并探讨语法能力和词汇运用知识与英语综合水平（OEP）的关系。以265名大专生为被试，从初中教材中抽取53个语法项目进行测试。结果表明，被试掌握了全部项目的57.9%，但对3个D1、3个D1、3个D1年级项目和疑问句的掌握存在问题。收集错误的输出是为了解释受试者的中介语。1996年至1999年进行了同样的测试[总人数：1353]，结果显示语法能力的下降具有统计学意义.制作了初中教材词汇表，对测试词汇进行抽样。51名被试的词汇知识被认为是由六种相互关联的基本能力组成的，即M[双箭头]S，S[双箭头]O，O[双箭头]M。六种能力的排序依次为O→M、S→M、S→O、M→O/O→S、M→S。英语水平高的被试在SM、SO和MO上表现更好.语法和词汇测试的结果与封闭测试的结果进行了比较，封闭测试被用作整体英语水平（OEP）的指标[46名受试者]。研究结果表明：OM、SM、SO和MS对OEP有影响，而SM、SO和MO对语法能力有影响，是OEP高的被试的特征。特别是SM和SO对OEP和语法能力都有影响，这表明声音处理能力与语法习得有关，从而与成功的语言学习有关。
