2. Negative Vocabulary Profiles of the Academic Listening Course Material
This section shows the description of negative vocabulary profile of the Academic Listening course material. The analysis of negative vocabulary profile covered the data from
K1, K2, and AWL. Negative vocabulary is vocabulary items which are members of New General Service List Browne, Culligan, Phillips, 2013 but not found in the text. Negative
vocabulary profile lists would seem to be useful for the teacher to help students enrich their language productions.
