DISCUSSION AND PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATIONS
Lexicographers and language teachers are in agreement that not only fully bilingualized

networks showing word relations and associations. The author developed such a lexical
database and online course using the Semantic Field Keyword Approach for 9 academic
disciplines, making it computerized, productively-based and bilingualized for
Japanese-English learners. This model and lexical network of associations may be
followed by teachers and learners of other languages to more rapidly build vocabulary
