Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to identify the frequency and distribution of academic words in the four fields (English education, English linguistics, English literature, general English) of the Secondary English Teacher Recruitment Exams (SETRE). In order to do so, four sub-corpus was constructed based on the test items of SETRE administered from 2002 through 2021. The numbers of tokens in each subcorpus were 49,957 (English education), 26,908 (English linguistics), 21,326 (English literature), and 32,496 (32,496). And then, the frequency and distribution of academic vocabulary were analyzed with AntWordProfiler (Anthony, 2014). The numbers of academic vocabulary that appeared in four each sub-corpus were 435 (general English), 409 (English education), 333 (English linguistics), and 242(English literature). All academic words appeared in each sub-corpus were listed in tables according to frequency. Pedagogical implications and suggestions for further research were also suggested.
