VOCABULARY PROFILE OF ACADEMIC LISTENING MATERIALS USED IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION PROGRAM
Joannita Ratih Wiharmastu 112012018
A. INTRODUCTION
Knowing the content of the materials which are used in a language class is very crucial because the students can expect what they are going to learn. The most visible content that can be analysed in a language lesson material is the grammar and vocabulary. Discoursing vocabulary learning, getting exposed to as many vocabulary items as possible in the target language would be beneficial because it is the “basic building block of language” (Read, 2000, p.1). As the result, it becomes the call for material developers to create course books that would be able to maximize the input and carefully choose what vocabulary the learners need to know (Kafipour & Naveh, 2011; Lessard-Clouston, 2013, as cited in Farjami, 2014).
Because of the importance of vocabulary learning, the teachers need to know the vocabulary levels that are appropriate for the students. As what Krashen (1982) presents about the input hypothesis, the second language acquisition can only take place if the
language used is above the students’ level, but not too advanced. Therefore, the educators
should adjust the difficulty of the vocabulary items based on their students’ level. To see the most used and uncommon words in a book, vocabulary profiler can be utilized.
On account of the implementation of KKNI (Indonesian National Qualification Framework) in 2012, the number of credits for Academic Listening course for English Language Education program students in Satya Wacana Christian University starting from
(9)
2
2014 was converted from three to four credit hours. This led to changing the content of the materials. The Academic Listening course in English Language Education program used a material that was compiled from TOEFL, IELTS, and book chapters. Since these materials have just been used in 2014, there is no research investigating the vocabulary items of it. These newly generated materials need to be investigated in its early practice and hence, immediate action could be carried out if needed.
In response to the change of the material, this study attempted to provide the vocabulary profile of the newest Academic Listening course materials. Vocabulary profile is a description of breakdowns that includes the ratio of how many times a word occurs in a text (Morris & Cobb, 2004). Farjami (2014) mentioned that studies on vocabulary profile were able to give information about the frequency of function and content words. The information about the vocabulary profile will be broken down into four parts which are the first thousand most common words (K1), the second thousand most common words (K2), Academic Word List (AWL), and Off-list words (Cobb, n.d.).
In this study, an investigation was completed to profile the vocabulary in the Academic Listening class materials. This study was aimed to answer three research questions that were:
1. What is the vocabulary profile used in the Academic Listening course material? 2. What is the number of vocabulary items that was not covered in the Academic
Listening course material?
3. What is the token recycling index of the Academic Listening course material? The objectives of this study were:
1. To investigate the vocabulary profile of the Academic Listening course materials used in English Education Program in Satya Wacana Christian University.
(10)

3. To generate the token recycling index of the material.
From the result of this vocabulary profile study, the material developers can have the insight whether the vocabulary coverage can be taught and understandable for a particular
students’ level (Laufer, 2010). The researcher hopes that this study could give beneficial inputs for the language teaching practitioners in this university. After knowing the degree of vocabulary occurrence in the new class, the material developers may be able to design their teaching by deciding which vocabulary is worth highlighting and being remedied. In addition, they could also see whether the vocabulary items were appropriate for the students or not.
B. LITERATURE REVIEW
1. Definition of Vocabulary
The scientific study of language can cover some areas namely syntax, morphology, phonology, and lexicon. The last mentioned area, commonly known as vocabulary, is defined
by Richards and Schmidt as “a set of lexemes (the smallest unit in the meaning system of a
language that can be distinguished from other similar units), including single words,
compound words and idioms” (2002, as cited in Hassani, Zarei, & Sadeghpour, 2013).
2. Importance of Learning Vocabulary
According to Zimmerman (1997), vocabulary proficiency is more substantial for the language learners compared to the knowledge of syntactic rules. This statement is supported by Koosha and Akbari (2010) claiming that while utterances containing grammatical errors would be somehow understandable, incorrect dictions would be a real obstacle in conversations. Subsequently, vocabulary becomes an essential component in language learning because it is the building block of the things trying to be conveyed (Schmitt,
(11)
4
Schmitt, & Calpham, 2001; Read, 2000; Mayer & Alexander, 2010). In addition, it is suggested that various types of vocabulary tests could be used to predict one’s language proficiency in a second or foreign language (Stæhr, 2008; Zavera in Golkar & Yamini, 2007).
3. Lexical Coverage for Comprehension
In order to gain comprehension, only one word in every 20 words within the overall text is allowed to be left unknown by the reader. In other words, the vocabulary coverage should reach 95% to achieve understanding. However, most learners will make an adequate comprehension when only one word in every 50 words is unknown or 98% coverage (Nation, 2006). Another theory proposed by Betts (as cited in Mikulecky, 2007) was written as follows:
Independent: 99% of words already known for fluent, enjoyable reading.
Instructional: 98%-95% of words known and some instructional support such as teacher suggestions, vocabulary explanations, illustrations etc. needed for the benefit.
Frustrational: Below 95% of words known can damage fluency and lead to disruptions in comprehension strategies. (p.1)
Furthermore, Nation (2006) drew a conclusion based on his research that the variation of the word used in a written text would be less varied than in a spoken text. The percentage of K1 plus K2, according to his study, would normally cover around 78%-81%, while in spoken text the coverage would be around 85%. In the same study, he also assumed that as much as 95% of the text coverage also generally included K1, K2, and Off-list because the proper nouns from this category could be easily understood.

4. Definition of Vocabulary Profile and Vocabulary Profiler
Vocabulary profile, according to Graves (2005), is a collection of words classified by their tokens, families, and frequencies. Browne and Culligan (2008) assert that the integration between a work under CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) and vocabulary teaching leads to the emerging of a vocabulary profiler program. Therefore, a vocabulary
profiler is an online “public domain computer program” (Laufer, 1994) developed by Tom
Cobb which can group the vocabulary in a text into frequency levels (Paul, 2005; Nemati, 2009).
5. Categories Based on The Word Frequency
There are four types of word frequency, respectively: high frequency which is divided into the first thousand most common words (K1) and the second thousand most common words (K2); Academic Word Lists (AWL); and Off-list words (OL) (Nation, 1990). The first
3000 word families of English “represent the current best estimate of the basic learner lexicon of English” (Schmitt & Schmitt, 2012). Below is the example of thirty words under the
category of K1 taken from Rebecca Sitton’s Spelling Sourcebook Series (Sitton, 1992):
Table 1. Examples of the first thousand most common words (K1) (Sitton, 1992)
The A Is It From Or Had Their Do About
Of To You Be I By Not Said Will How
And In That This Have One Which If Each Up
The vocabulary profiler on http://www.lextutor.ca/ (Cobb, n.d.) provides the list of K1, K2, and Academic Words Lists. The K1 is divided into two categories which are function and content words. Function words are the grammatical items to organise a language, while
(13)
6
content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs) define the lexical density in a text (Vidiakovic & Barker, 2010). The AWL is split up into two parts which are university word lists and academic word lists. However, this study grouped all the academic words into AWL. On the web, the list is presented in an alphabetical order. Here is the example of the K2 word lists from the online Compleat Lexical Tutor. Only one word which is the first appearance for every letter in the alphabet is taken.
Table 2. Examples of the second thousand most common words (K2) (Cobb, n.d.)
Abroad Fade Key Pack Ugly
Baby Gap Ladder Qualify Vain
Cage Habit Mad Rabbit Waist
Damage Ice Nail Sacred Yard
Eager Jaw Oar Tail Zero
Furthermore, the AWL developed by Coxhead (2000) cointains 570 word families excluding the most frequent 2,000 words. She justified that the coverage of AWL in an academic text could be up to 570 word families or as much as 10% of the total words. It means that even in academic texts, the learner will find 90% of the general service list (GSL) or the 2,000 most common words. Hence, the academic words are only supportive to the topic in the text they occur. Table 3 shows the example of AWL sublist families retrieved
from Sublist Families of the Academic Word Lists (2015) cited in Cobb’s online vocabulary
profiler.

Off-list family words consist of proper nouns, unusual words, specialist vocabulary, acronyms, abbreviations, and misspelling (Cobb, n.d.). Table 4 provides the examples of some Off-list words appearing in various articles.

6. Benefits of Knowing Low and High-Frequency Words
Laufer (1999) stated that classifying the high and low frequency words are principally required for educators, because it can be a useful help for them to know the current vocabulary development stages of the students. However, educators are usually found spending time on teaching the low-frequency words and the learners will get the minimal advantage from knowing them (Laufer, 1999). Therefore, Nation (2014) suggests that learning the high frequency words will be well repaid because of the high chance of meeting and using them. Therefore, after knowing the distinction between high and low frequency words, the teacher could emphasize more on the most common words of academic vocabulary and design the exercises in which the students will be using the vocabulary.

7. Relevant Previous Studies
The previous study by Farjami (2014) using the vocabulary profiler was aimed to provide a specific detail about the vocabulary coverage in seven English textbooks used in Iranian context. The researcher excluded the marginal information such as the table of content, page numbers, and the index at the end of the book but included the metatextual information such as instructions and summaries to be analyzed. The result was presented in the form of table showing the numbers of the frequency profile of vocabulary in those seven textbooks. From the analysis, the researcher could notice that the lexical input containing high frequency and academic vocabulary in the material should be developed.
Another study was conducted by Liontou (2015). VocabProfile 3.0 was used to examine the lexicogrammatical differences between intermediate and advanced reading comprehension tests in Greek. The program was utilized to analyze 135 texts and the result showed Fhigh differences between those two levels. The text in the intermediate level contained a higher proportion of unique words, whereas the advanced level is richer according to the lexical density.
The two previous studies mentioned above utilized vocabulary profiler generated by Cobb. They described the representativeness of exposure to English in the texts analyzed. In addition, Farjami also investigated the word recycling index.
C. THE STUDY
This study was aimed to investigate the vocabulary profile of Academic Listening class material used by English Language Education Program in the Faculty of Language and Literature in Satya Wacana Christian University. The descriptive method was chosen for this
(16)
9
study because the result of the vocabulary profile reported will aspire to describe the word frequencies of the material.
1. Context of The Study
The context of this study was the English Language Education program of the Faculty of Language and Literature in Satya Wacana Christian University. The students in this study program have to take compulsory courses, and one of the required skill courses is Academic Listening. Academic Listening course was the last listening course in this study program, so the vocabulary was expected to contain adequate academic words appropriate for intermediate to advanced level students. Meanwhile, Satya Wacana Christian University in Salatiga has implemented a new curriculum named Indonesian National Qualification Framework. Due to the change of the curriculum, the material of this course has to undergo some modifications. The number of the academic credit for this course was increased from three to four. As a result, there must be addition in the lexical coverage of its material.
2. Material
The material for the purpose of this present study was Academic Listening material used in English Language Education program of FLL for the 2015/2016 academic year. Since there has been the implementation of the new curriculum, the newest material designed for Academic Listening course in Satya Wacana Christian University has not been investigated yet. The material was used by the students and teacher in a twenty-eight-meeting semester. Only the audio-visual materials such as audio recordings and a short movie were taken to analyse since this study focused on the language exposure for listening skills. Considering the validity and reliability, the audio-visual materials used in all meetings were analysed.

3. Data Collection Instrument
This study used vocabulary profiler that can be accessed from http://www.lextutor.ca/ to get the data. This Lextutor program is an electronic tool for profiling vocabulary, created by Tom Cobb in 1999. The online program breaks down words in the text to four classifications which are K1 (1-1,000 most common words), K2 (1,001-2,000 most common words), Academic Word Lists, and Off-list words.
4. Data Collection Procedures
For the data collection, the main purpose is to provide the text in form of a word document to make them compatible with the vocabulary profiler. In order to do so, this study used Microsoft Word for the word-processing software. The transcripts of the audio-visual materials were transcribed first. However, during the transcribing process, there were some categories of words were omitted i.e. names (people’s names, brand, and places), foreign vocabulary items, and abbreviations. Therefore, only the meaningful words to English were involved in the data analysis.
5. Data Analysis
The first step to analyse the data is accessing the vocabulary profiler. Go to http://www.lextutor.ca/ and then click on Vocabprofile. Click VP-Classic to get the result
categorized into Laufer & Nation’s 4-way sorter. Go back to the word document, copy, and paste the text per chapter into the dialogue box provided. There is a limitation of the text i.e. 200,000 characters or 35,000 words. Finally, submit the word by clicking SUBMIT_Window and the program will start doing the analysis.
Lextutor as the vocabulary profiler analyses the data automatically. The output will be presented in colours indicating the category. The categories are K1, K2, AWL, and Off-list
(18)

and the colour represent them respectively are blue, green, yellow, and red. This result will be discussed to answer the first research question. For the second research question, displaying the negative vocabulary profile was done by clicking VP negative under the family list of each category. For the third research question, go back to the home page, click Text Lex Compare.
D. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
This part would attempt to present the vocabulary profile of the Academic Listening course material used. The discussion is divided into three parts. The first one is the overall result to show the vocabulary profile of the Academic Listening course material. The second part shows the negative vocabulary and the list of vocabulary items that were not found in the course material. The third part is the comparison of vocabulary profile between two materials used in two meetings. This last part shows the repeated and unrepeated words in the material being compared. The result of the analysis is presented in forms of tables to show the percentage and number of words.
1. Overall Result
This section shows the finding of vocabulary profile of the Academic Listening material for the whole meeting. The data analysis using The Compleat Lexical Tutor v.4 yielded the result shown in Table 5. As can be seen in the table, the Academic Listening material comprised 59,377 words. It also shows the information of families and types found in the material. According to Bauer and Nation (1993), a word family is the bare stem form of a word and all its derived and inflected varieties. A word type is defined as “any word
(19)
12
Lamy, & Jones, 2002). For example, the words does, did, doing, and done may all be part of the same word family, but they are considered four different word types. The token is the total number of words found in the text. If for example, there are words could_[2], insects_[2], of_[5], and previously_[1] in a text, the number of tokens is 10. Table 5 shows that there were 1,8585 word families and 5,084 word types out of the total words.
Table 5 indicates that K1 got the highest proportion of the whole material used in the Academic Listening course. Of the vocabulary in all the material, 86.37% of the words were the K1. K2 calculated in the material was as much as 5.29%. The sum of K1 and K2 would be 91.66%. This percentage was below the suggested amount of known words for uninterrupted comprehension which should be at least 95%. Thus, according to Nation (2006), this material could probably be described as linguistically complex for advanced language users, such as students in university level (Schmitt & Schmitt, 2012). The lowest category is from the AWL. It only represented 3.96% from the material. It needs to investigate whether the 389 families of AWL in the Academic Listening material was adequate or not for university levels. The cumulative of K1, K2, and AWL would reach 95.62%. From this percentage, the students would be assumed to have an uninterrupted understanding if they knew all the words from K1 until AWL. The remaining 4.38% (2,600 tokens) of the vocabulary items were from the Off-list words. Despite the fact that the Off-list words are not in the frequency list, they could probably determine the main idea of discussions and be the keywords for the topic. Therefore, this list should not be neglected when teachers are making the selection for vocabulary list to teach.

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.
a. Negative Vocabulary Profile of K1
In this section, the negative vocabulary profile of K1 words is presented. The summary of data analysis of K1 words that were not found in the material is shown as follows:
K1 Total word families : 964
K1 Families in input : 889 (92.22%) K1 Families not in input : 76 (7.88%)
(21)
14
As can be seen in the summary, the material comprised 92.22% of word families from NGSL. Therefore, the remaining 7.88% of word families were missing from the material. The numbers indicate the material used in the course appeared to be quite rich in words families. Table 6 shows some word families that were not involved in the course material. The complete list has been put in Appendix A.

b. Negative Vocabulary Profile of K2
This section presents negative vocabulary profile of K2. The vocabulary profiler tool yielded the summary as presented below.
K2 Total word families : 986
K2 Families in input : 567 (57.51%) K2 Families not in input : 420 (42.49%)
From the summary above, it can be seen that the total families in NGSL are 986 headwords. In the Academic Listening course material, the K2 word families accounted were as much as 57.51%, which means 42.49% were missing in the material. In Table 7, some examples from the list of K2 word families that were not found in the material is presented. The complete list has been put in Appendix B.

c. Negative Vocabulary Profile of AWL
This section presents the word families of AWL that were not found in the Academic Listening course material. The summary of negative vocabulary profile for AWL category is presented below.
AWL Total word families : 569
AWL Families in input : 387 (68.01%) AWL Families not in input : 183 (32.16%)
The summary above shows that the course material comprised 68.01% of AWL word families from NGSL. In other words, there were 387 AWL head words found in the material out of 569 word families in the AWL from NGSL. Accordingly, there were 32.16% of AWL word families were not found. Table 8 shows some example of AWL word families missing from the Academic Listening course material. The full list has been put in Appendix C.

3. Block Frequency Output of Off-list Words
For the reason that each of Off-list words could not be sorted into certain word families, the negative vocabulary of this category is not able to be analysed. Consequently, this study utilized the vocabulary profiler to count the frequency of Off-list words. This online tool sorted the data in a descending order (from high to low) and frequency-blocked them per ten words. The data analysed covered 1,361 types and 2,600 tokens of Off-list words. Table 9 shows the three highest block frequency of Off-list words. In the table, RANK is the ranking of words, FREQ is the number of word occurrence in the text, COVERAGE is the percentage of individual and cumulative word occurrences, and the last column contains the vocabulary items. The complete list of the block frequency has been put in Appendix D. The frequency list yielded by the tool in the vocabulary profiler could probably serve as clues to make a selection of useful and relevant words to teach.

4. Comparison of Vocabulary Frequency across Materials Used in Each Meeting
This section compares the finding of vocabulary profile of the Academic Listening material across meeting. Table 10 shows the comparison of K1, K2, AWL, and Off-list frequencies among materials used in each Academic Listening course meeting.
As can be seen in Table 10, for the K1 category, the highest coverage was found in the material for meeting 2 with 92.69% and the lowest was for meeting 11 which only comprised 79.06% of K1. The highest and lowest proportions of K2 were respectively found in the material for meeting 16 (7.24%) and 8 (2.65%). The AWL coverage ranged from 0.94% (meeting 17) to 7.20% (meeting 10). For the Off-list category, the highest coverage was found in meeting 17 with 7.24% and the lowest was in meeting 2 with only 1.18% of Off-list. The amount of word frequency level in each meeting may highly depend on the main topic of the discussion.
Few materials for the Academic Listening course (meeting 2, 5, 14, 24, and 27) reached the least 95% from the cumulative of K1 and K2. Moreover, there were materials for ten meetings in which the cumulative percentage of K1, K2, and AWL could not cover the
(25)
18
required percentage for a good understanding. Thus, according to Nation (2006), the material could generally be described as linguistically complex for advanced language users, such as students in university level (Schmitt & Schmitt, 2012).

5. Text Comparison of Materials
This last section displays the comparison of text between materials for two meetings of the Academic Listening course. The data of comparison also presents the token recycling index of the materials being compared. Recycling index is the recycled words found in the second text (Cobb, 2007). In other words, recycling index is the ratio between words that are shared by two texts and the total number of words in the second text. It provides useful information about what words are shared in both texts and what words are new or unique in the second text. The higher the token recycling index, the higher the text comprehensibility would be. After knowing the shared and unique words in two texts, teachers could highlight important words that are not covered in the first text. The materials that were compared in this section are those having the highest and lowest percentage of word frequency levels.
a. Comparison of Materials for Meeting 2 vs. Meeting 11
The first comparison contrasts the material for meeting 2 and 11. Considering the high differences of K1 percentage in those two meetings, the materials were compared. Table 11 displays the summary of the comparison between materials for meeting 2 and meeting 11. It also shows the number of token and families recycling index. The word frequency can be seen next to that word. The complete table has been put in Appendix E. As can be seen on top of the table, the token recycling index was 52.64%. It means that as much as 52.64% of words in materials for meeting 2 and meeting 11 were shared. From that result, the unique words in the second text (meeting 11) can be calculated by deducting the recycling index from 100% (100%-52.64%). Thus, the unique words that were only found in the material for meeting 11 were 47.36%. It means that if the students were initially exposed to the material for meeting 2 and they proceed to the material for meeting 11, they would likely to listen to 1,704 new words.

b. Comparison of Materials for Meeting 8 vs. Meeting 16
The second comparison is between materials for meeting 8 and meeting 16. These two meetings constituted the highest differences of K2 percentage. Table 12 displays the summary of the comparison between materials for meeting 8 and meeting 16 as well as some examples of the shared and unique words. The complete table has been put in Appendix F. Table 12 indicates that the token recycling index between the two materials was 54.89%. It indicates that 54.89% of the total words counted were found in both materials. From this data, it can be concluded that the words unique to the material for meeting 16 were 45.11% (100%-54.89%). Suppose that the students listened to the material for meeting 16 after they listened to the materials for meeting 8, they would find 634 new tokens.

c. Comparison of Materials for Meeting 10 vs. Meeting 17
The third comparison measures the shared and unique words between materials for meeting 10 and meeting 17. Meeting 10 got the highest percentage of AWL, while meeting 17 comprised the lowest amount of AWL. Table 13 presents the summary of the comparison between materials for those two meetings as well as some examples of the shared and unique words. The complete table has been put in Appendix G. Table 13 denotes that the recycling index was 70.03%. Thus, it indicates that as much as 29.97% (100%-70.03%) of the total words from two materials was unique to the material for meeting 17. The token recycling index in this section is the highest compared to the other two results.

E. CONCLUSION
This study was aimed to investigate the vocabulary profile of Academic Listening course materials used in the English language education program in Satya Wacana Christian University. There were three main results of the data analysis in this study. The first one is that the Academic Listening course material used in 2015/2016 academic year would probably be lexically challenging for the students because the K1 and K2 cumulative only covered 91.66%. That number was below the suggested percentage for good understanding of the running text (Nation, 2006). The second result revealed the negative vocabulary profiles of K1, K2, and AWL including the list of vocabulary items that were not appearing in the material as well as the block frequency output of off-list words. The result shows negative vocabulary profiles of K1, K2, and AWL, respectively 7.88%, 42.49%, and 32.16%. It might indicate that the material was quite rich in terms of word families. The third result disclosed
(31)
24
the token recycling index of two materials. There were three pairs of material being compared in this study. The analysis demonstrates the recycling index for the material for meeting 2 and 11 was 52.64%. The material for meeting 8 and 16, the recycling index was 54.89%. The highest percentage of token recycling index was found in the material for meeting 10 and 17 which contained 70.03% shared vocabulary items. All the yielded result was hoped to be fruitful for the course developer in order to create the vocabulary learning strategies for the students.
The limitation of this study is the data taken to analyse neglected to differentiate the material sources. In the Academic Listening course material, the material was compiled from TOEFL, IELTS, textbooks, video podcasts, and a short movie. Yet, the sources were treated the same because this study focused more on the material used in each meeting.
For the further research, it is suggested to profile the material of the Academic Listening course based on its material source, whether it is from TOEFL, IELTS, textbooks, or other sources. This is based on the consideration that spoken texts from various resources would have different vocabulary profile characteristics.
For the recommendation, it would be suggested for the course developer to recheck the material in terms of its vocabulary coverage and consider the words that need to be highlighted by creating a vocabulary reference list. The result of this study was expected to give the course developer some assistant in later choosing the listening exercises for the course takers.
