TI  - A CORPUS ANALYSIS OF THE EIGHTH GRADERS’ TEXTBOOK
AB  - Vocabulary use in textbooks for foreign language learners is significant since national language corpus must be taken into account in teaching a language as a foreign or a second language. Textbooks are supposed to have been prepared by the corpus to help the foreign language learners to achieve desired level. This study aims at discussing the corpus in a textbook prepared for the eighth graders in Turkey. Besides it discusses how well it coincides with Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This study is based on the following questions: 1. What are the most frequent words in the textbook? 2. How well are K1 Words, K2 Words and Academic Words used in the textbook? 3. Does the corpus in the textbook coincide with A2 Level according to CEFR? The study will help not only foreign language learners but also school teachers and textbook writers in order to know and use basic vocabulary required for A2 Level according to the criteria of CEFR.
