The purpose of this study is to examine L2 learners’ specialized vocabulary knowledge in a particular subject of ESP－convention English. To this end, one hundred and thirty-two(N=132) EFL university students in Korea participated and performed two types of specialized vocabulary tests－a convention vocabulary test and an academic vocabulary test, along with a mock convention planner certificate test as a measure of convention English proficiency. The results have shown that 1) a participant’s convention vocabulary knowledge was significantly lower than his/her academic vocabulary knowledge, 2) a participant’s convention vocabulary knowledge was highly correlated with academic vocabulary knowledge, and 3) a participant’s convention and academic vocabulary knowledge had a strong correlation to convention English proficiency, with a stronger relation of convention vocabulary to convention English proficiency. Implications and limitations of the current study are discussed.
