4. Block Frequency of Off-List Words OLW
The following discussion will present OLW. These words are not included in three categories of word, which is in K-1, K-2, and AWL. However, students may
need these words to increase their vocabulary knowledge and comprehension skill. Therefore, it is nece
ssary for lecturers to select the words based on students’ need. Although the program does not provide Negative Vocabulary Profile of OLW yet, but
it can analyze OLW block frequency words.
Off-List Words
can be useful for the students to increase their reading skill. In the lextutor.ca web, there is
frequency
option in the menu. It can group the words every ten words that have been arranged based on its frequency from high to low.
Therefore it is called block frequency words. Based on these information, the lecturers can select some words based on students’ need. Below are some examples of OLW
from the textbook that has 2163 tokens and 1185 types. The first row in the Table 2 shows some terms used in vocabulary profile. First,
RANK stands for ranking of the words in the textbook. Second, FREQ stands for
18 frequency of the words occurrences. Thirds, COVERAGE means percentage of words
appeared in the textbook in both individual and cumulative. Next, WORD indicates vocabulary items seen in the textbook. E.g. the word
competitive
appeared 24 times in input text. Comparing to other word frequency,
competitive
achieved the highest percentage on block frequency words list. Therefore, the rank of
competitive
in OLW block frequency words list is one, which can be seen in Table 2 below. Appendix D
shows the complete version of block frequency of
Off-List Words
