It revealed that vocabulary chosen using teacher intuition are mostly low-frequency, but that such items are more preferable because they have high-imageability. It concluded that for young learners, a combination of 500 words with ighimageability chosen using native English speaker intuition and the most frequent 500 words of English is preferable in comparison with teaching the most frequent 1,000 words of English.The reason for this was the minimal gains in text coverage that the second most frequent 500 words of English provided in comparison to words chosen with intuition, which had highimageability and thus a lower learning burden. This study showed that such an approach strikes an ideal balance between the practicality of pedagogical goals and the cost/benefit value of vocabulary choices.}, pages = {151--166}, title = {Corpus Data or Teacher Intuition: Which is More Valuable when Choosing Vocabulary to Teach to Young ESL Learners?}, volume = {101}, year = {2015}, yomi = {ミムラ, カヨ} }
