FLEX(Foreign Language Examination)는 한국외국어대학교에서 개발하여 1999년부터 시행하고 있는 전문 외국어능력 평가시험으로, 읽기·듣기 및 말하기·듣기 영역에서외국어 사용능력을 측정해주는 국가공인자격 인증 시험입니다. FLEX는 어학능력 측정시험으로서뿐 아니라, 외국어 우수 인재 선발을 위한 시험으로도 널리 활용되어, 정부기관 및 지자체, 공기업은 물론 대기업 및 중소기업체, 외국계 회사, 학교에서 입사, 승진, 해외파견, 입학, 졸업, 학점인정 등을 결정하는 데 중요한 평가 자료로 사용되고 있습니다. 그리고 2017년부터는 국가 공무원 7급의 영어시험을 대체하는 영어능력검정시험에 포함되어 대내외적으로 우리나라 최고의 외국어능력시험 중의 하나로 인정받고 있습니다.

그동안 FLEX 영어 수험준비는 FLEX센터에서 여러 차례 걸쳐 발간한 기출문제 설명형식의 해설서를 통해서만 가능했습니다. 해설서를 통해 시험의 전반적 구성체제와 문제 유형, 출제경향에 대해서 파악할 수 있지만, 체계적인 수험준비를 하는 데에는 한계가 있을 것입니다. 이에 수험생들의 수험준비를 체계적으로 돕기 위한 첫 단계로서 본FLEX 영어 어휘서를 발간하게 되었습니다. 본 어휘서는 2001년부터 2015년까지 시행된FLEX 영어 읽기, 듣기 시험에 출현한 중요 빈출 어휘를 선별하여 56일(8주) 동안 학습할 수 있도록 구성되어 있습니다. 각 어휘에는 어휘의 뜻뿐 아니라, 연어(collocation), 유의어/반의어, 파생어와 예문이 수록되어있어 책의 내용을 잘 따라 학습하면 FLEX 영어시험에 나오는 어휘에 철저히 대비할 수 있습니다.

모쪼록 본 FLEX 영어 어휘서가 수험준비와 외국어학습에 유익하게 활용되길 바라며, 본서를 공동집필한 이주은 선생과 오영림 선생, 예문을 작성한 William Hart 선생, 본서를 준비하는 단계에서 많은 도움을 준 김지인 FLEX센터 책임연구원, 꼼꼼하게 교정을 보아준 이정은 선생, 그리고 본서의 집필에 자료를 제공해준 FLEX센터와 직원분들께 깊은 감사를 드립니다.

마지막으로 본서는 2016학년도 HUFS특성화사업(교양교재 개발)의 지원을 받아 완성하였음을 밝힙니다.
