摘　　要：This study investigated the relationships among different dimensions of vocabulary knowledge （passive, controlled active and free active vocabulary knowledge） and how they affect EFL learners＇ writing quality. Participants were a whole class of web-based English learners （N = 31） of tertiary level in the Chinese mainland. The results show that free active （above 2000） vocabulary knowledge has a much stronger correlation with controlled active than passive vocabulary knowledge, and writing quality has a stronger correlation with free active vocabulary knowledge than with the other two dimensions of vocabulary knowledge.网络英语学习者有其学习方式的独特性,因而学习效果与在校生亦不尽相同。本文旨在探讨中国英语网络学习者的不同维度的词汇量(被动、半主动及主动)以及写作文本质量之间的关系。本文测试对象为北京某大学网络教育学院英语专业一年级学习者(N=31)。

关 键 词：passive controlled active and free active vocabulary knowledge writing competence
