I am planning on using the VocabProfile website. I think it's a brilliant idea to choose reading books according to the level of English of our students after having analyzed the "level" of the books on the site. Most students who are not strong give up on recreational reading if given a book that doesn't suit their level of English and that can be somewhat avoided by using the analysis tools suggested in the video.

And yes, I have other comments with regard to the quality of the lecture itself, that was confusing. in the beginning, Charles Browne states that the Oxford Dictionary registers 600,000 WORD FAMILIES / LEMMAS in the English Language. Unfortunately, after that, he switches the count to WORDS. Is it believable that a native speaker in an English speaking country would know only 25-30,000 words? Or did he mean word families... Is it possible that a Japanese student after 14 years of study would know only 2000 words in English or is it maybe word families? I personally think that the lecture wasn't clear enough to the listener, the terminology wasn't presented efficiently enough, it was in a way more a marketing exposure of the research rather than a professional, linguistic contribution for the teacher, who is left with more questions than answers. Hence the confusion of many of my  colleagues in this group.

Keiko Koda in "Insights Into Second Language Reading" (Cambridge Applied Linguistics, 2004) stated a well known fact back then in 2004: "The prevalent instructional approach is to equip learners with a core vocabulary of roughly two thousand high-frequency words in the target language. The logic is straightforward: the core vocabulary accounts for roughly 80% of the words in most texts, and therefore the sooner these words are learned, the better L2 reading comprehension is expedited". Obviously, the target mentioned in the book was reading comprehension. The most important problem at hand, however, a problem that still remains to be dealt with, according to Keiko Koda, is what "knowing a word" means, what the levels of knowledge are, the stages of knowledge to be achieved, and how one can reach that.
