The main purpose of this three-year project is to construct a vocabulary list for Japanese learners of English and develop a system for analyzing educational materials based on large-scale corpora. First of all, the validity and reliability of JACET 8000, which was compiled by the JACET basic word committee in 2002, are examined carefully to find if there are any points to be improved and developed. However, four validation studies can not find any serious flow, and show that the JACET 8000 basic words reached a high degree of perfection.Based upon these studies, from the second year, we verified the purpose of this project. That is, the final goal was changed from "improving and developing the list itself" into "establishing four sub-corpora and proposing list of words which were not included in the JACET 8000." However, this mission was more difficult than we had expected due to the limitation of time allowance. We manage to compile four corpora : junior and high school textbooks, spoken English, American English and children's literature. By merging and calculating the range value of these corpora, we selected 636 words as supplemental vocabulary list to the JACET 8000.Finally, the validity of the supplement 636 is not verified yet. From now on, it is desirable to merge this supplement list into the JACET 8000 to reconstruct more reliable and valid vocabulary list.

本项目为期三年，主要目的是为日本英语学习者构建一个词汇表，并开发一个基于大规模语料库的教材分析系统。首先，对2002年由JACET基础词汇委员会编制的《JACET 8000》的效度和信度进行了仔细的检查，找出是否有需要改进和发展的地方。然而，四项验证研究都没有发现任何严重的流量，并表明JACET 8000基本单词达到了很高的完善程度。基于这些研究，从第二年开始，我们验证了这个项目的目的。也就是说，最终的目标从“改进和发展清单本身”变成了“建立四个子语料库，并提出JACET 8000中未包括的单词清单”。然而，由于时间的限制，这次任务比我们预期的要困难得多。我们成功编写了初中教材、英语口语、美国英语和儿童文学四大语料库。通过合并和计算这些语料库的范围值，我们选择了636个单词作为JACET 8000的补充词汇表。最后，补充636的有效性尚未得到验证。今后，希望将此补充表合并到JACET 8000中，以重建更可靠、更有效的词汇表。
