(1) In terms of rate of correct answer for male and female related vocabulary depending on learner’s level, learner (advanced) (72.5%) was higher than learner (low)(56.0%) but the acquisition rate of both was not that high. And the rate of correct answer for male and female related vocabulary depending on learner’s level was almost similar. (2) In terms of rate of correct answer for male and female related vocabulary(30 questions) depending on learner’s level, the learner(advanced) was higher than the learner(low). However, in the case of the same vocabulary question, the correct answer rate was not similar, in particular, 男子 and 彼女 showed big difference.
