Table: Cefr language levels (CEFR: European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teaching, assessment)

What is vocabulary?

Vocabulary is «words we must know to communicate effectively; words in
speaking (expressive vocabulary) and words in listening (receptive vocabulary)» (Neuman&Dwyer, 2009, p. 385).

Receptive Vocabulary (Passive words)

Receptive vocabulary is words that learners recognize and understand when they are used
in context, but which they cannot produce. It is vocabulary that learners recognize when
they see or meet in reading text but do not use it in speaking and writing (Stuart Webb, 2009).

Productive Vocabulary (Active words)

Productive vocabulary is words that the language learners understand and can pronounce
correctly and use constructively in speaking and writing. It involves what is needed for
receptive vocabulary plus the ability to speak or write at the appropriate time. Therefore,
productive vocabulary can be addressed as an active process, because the learners can
produce the words to express their thoughts to others (Stuart Webb, 2005).

The numbers of active words are less than passives. Because peoeple understand thousands of words on different subjects by listening,
reading and seeing, but they can use only the words in line with their interests and the words used commonly (especially when speaking).
The words people use to understand are passive, and the words that are used to express and build new structures are called active words.
