Cover Story: TED Talks textbooks are commonly used in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) pedagogy. Although the textbooks offer a suitable framework for practicing all four of the language skills (i.e., listening, reading, speaking, and writing), TED Talk resources could create specific vocabulary challenges for learners. This study conducts a vocabulary analysis to compare the lexical profile, vocabulary load, and the academic and multiword unit (MWUs) coverage between the TED Talks and the textbook content for each of the 12 units in Keynote 2. The results showed that the TED Talks and textbook content provided inadequate vocabulary practice, limited academic vocabulary exposure, and lacked item repetition for learners. The study suggests using word lists and appropriate TED Talk selections to support learners’ varying vocabulary knowledge. View this paper
