This study examined how well Korean EFL university students knew the particular meaning of highly frequent words. Twenty-nine students rated their own knowledge of 30 target words in a self-report. They then took a matching test in which the target words were divided into ten groups; each group had three synonymous words. The test required the specific knowledge of the particular meaning of each word. Student interviews were also conducted to find out their ideas of what it means to know a word. Interviews also touched on reasons for some students' inability to discern the exact differences between words. The findings of this study suggest that students need to be helped to make the most of synonyms to acquire the depth of word meaning, and vocabulary teaching should be put in its right place in a course of study.
