The present study has shown with empirical evidence that vocabulary knowledge plays an important role in reading comprehension in EFL, and has demonstrated that for intermediate or advanced EFL learners with Japanese as their L1, vocabulary size, affix knowledge, depth of vocabulary knowledge, and reading comprehension are closely related to each other. Also, for the cohort of learners who had sufficient knowledge of 3,000 word families, the role of depth of vocabulary knowledge was not prominent although still evident to some degree in reading comprehension, contrary to general expectations. Rather, a suggestion has been made that they utilize affix knowledge or vocabulary size while reading. The lower group in this study tends to use affix knowledge, particularly prefix knowledge, in order to make up for their lack of vocabulary. On the other hand, in the case of the upper group, their wider vocabulary plays an important role in reading comprehension. The study also shows that affix knowledge plays an important part in reading comprehension for both groups.
