These are officially recommended (compulsory) textbooks for all public sector schools. The study calculated total number of words used (tokens) in the books along with different words (types) and headwords (families) . It calculated the distribution of words introduced in the books in BNCCOCA levels of most frequently used words. The analysis was done using Compleat Lexical Tutor v.8.3 vocabulary profiler and its special advanced software VP-Compleat with criteria BNCCOCA-25. In addition, ‘AntProfiler’ software was used. Some manual calculations were also done. The analysis suggested the corpus of 993 words introduced in two books. These words mostly belonged to level 1 (69.68 percent), level 2 (14.9 percent) and level 3 (2.2 percent) . Rest of the words belonged to levels from 4 to 14. The books need to increase number of words that fall under the first three levels of BNC-COCA 25and reduce the number of words from higher levels.  \nKeywords: Vocabulary, Lexical Analysis, Corpus, Token, Types, Word Families, BNC-COCA, Textbook Analysis  \n*PhD Scholar, University of Management & Technology, Lahore.  \n[Email: becketlove@hotmail.com](Email: becketlove@hotmail.com), [mumerazim@gmail.com](mumerazim@gmail.com)  \n**Professor of Linguistics, University of Lahore.  \nIntroduction  \nThe study in hand lexically analyzed the English textbooks, English 1 and English 2, produced and distributed under the supervision of Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board. The lexical analysis focused on the important factor ‘Introduction of Vocabulary’ in two books. The detail of this factor is discussed in coming sections.  \nIntroduction of Vocabulary Items  \nThis aspect covers the kind of vocabulary introduced in the English language textbooks. To answer the question, the analysis of the textbooks is done against the agreed British National Corpus (BNC) and Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) . Most frequently used words criterion was considered. The corpus researchers of BNC-COCA-25 have divided the corpus in 25 levels of 1000 words each according to their frequency level i.e., BNC-COCA 1 to BNC-COCA 25. Learning 3000 most frequently used words can make a learner understand 89% of the texts produced in English as concluded by Nation & Waring (2004) and Schmitt & Schmitt (2014) .  \nThese BNC-COCA’s levels are used by most of the researchers because it includes most of the words from General Service List (GSL) of most useful English words compiled by Michael West (1953) . The BNC’s levels also encompassed most of the 570 words enlisted in Academic Word List (AWL) by Coxhead (2000) . To discuss numerically GSL consisted of 1986 word families and AWL had 570 words and this made the total of 2556 word families out of which 88% word families are part of BNCCOCA 3000. Only 12% word families are not part of BNC-COCA 3000. This makes BNC-COCA 3000 a good measure or benchmark to be used in the language teaching books designed for young learners of English as Second or Foreign language. This corpus of BNC-COCA 25 is based on a huge scale research carried out by prominent researchers in the field of vocabulary like Nation, Maera, Schmitt, Waring and Cobb. They developed a vocabulary profiling software using this corpus which is comprehensive and user friendly, which is used in multiple researches involving vocabulary profiling (Laufer & Nation, 1995; Meara, 1993; Meara, Lightbown, & Halter, 1997; Meara & Fitzpatrick, 2000; Cobb & Horst, 2001).So, the vocabulary introduced in the textbooks was analyzed against these 3000 most frequently used words suggested by BNC-COCA.
