| Abstract | This research examined the comprehension and error patterns related to loan words in Japanese vocabulary learning of 106 third-year students majoring in Japanese from 4 universities in Thailand. Students were divided into good and poor groups (21:85) by their Japanese Language Proficiency Test Results. They were asked to translate A) 20 English words with their equivalent loan words B) 20 loan words with the original English words C) 6 loan words of Japanese innovations and other European origin with the original English words. Descriptive and Inferential Statistics were used to analysis the data. Qualitative analysis was applied to describe what types of errors students made. It revealed that translation correctness or comprehensibility of English words to loan words were higher than the other two types of loan words in both groups of students (good group: x? = 2.55, 2.48, 1.87, poor group x? = 2.18, 2.16, 1.59 respectively). Students faced problems in the translation of English words ending with schwa sounds. The error patterns in identifying the loan words of students related to the types of loan words. |
