Abstract
Language awareness refers to the consciousness of what language is and how language works. The process of establishing or developing language awareness should be a discovery of language use by learners themselves, maybe under the guidance of teachers. In this way, language awareness is considered not only as a linguistic term, but also a pedagogical approach. Just like society, change is also constant in the world of language. This paper aims to provide a reflection on language awareness from the angle of vocabulary variations and changes.
