Abstract

The importance and number of vocabulary studies is gradually increasing in terms of foreign language education. With vocabulary studies, priority word lists to be learned according to need and situation are investigated. While the number of vocabulary studies in teaching Turkish as a foreign language is gradually increasing, the focus is generally on the vocabulary of course materials. Students' vocabulary is also one of the areas that should be focused on for researchers in this process. While the number of vocabulary studies in teaching Turkish as a foreign language is gradually increasing, the focus is generally on the vocabulary of course materials. Students' vocabulary is also one of the areas that should be focused on for researchers in this process. Written or oral vocabulary of individuals learning Turkish as a foreign language is observed both to see the current situation and to make comparisons with frequency lists. Another instrument of vocabulary research is textbooks. The texts in the textbooks are a guide for the curriculum and the tutor. Textbooks play a key role in bringing vocabulary to the target audience. In this context, the written vocabulary of B1 level students learning Turkish as a foreign language and the vocabulary of the reading texts of the materials used in the course constitute the focus of the study. In this context, 7 different compositions were written to 21 students during the 6-week B1 course. Subsequently, these compositions were transferred to the computer environment in order to determine the written vocabulary of the students; the reading texts in the textbook have been made suitable for the software to be used in determining the vocabulary. The most frequently used 500 words in the vocabulary of the textbook and the vocabulary of students' written expressions were compared in different segments. In addition, the most frequently used 500 words were classified according to word types and the study was concluded.
