Abstract: The importance of vocabulary in reading has been discussed extensively in the
literature. Researchers claim that vocabulary is essential and has a central role in
comprehension. Development in ICT and easy access to information from the internet
necessitate language teachers to have relevant knowledge and skills to utilize pedagogical
tools to use authentic online materials for learning purposes. One of such a tool is the
Vocabulary Profiler that can be used to categorize lexical words in a text into different
frequency levels: high, low, and academic word list. This paper discusses how to use the
Vocabulary Profiler to classify words in a text into the different categories. The utilization
of this tool can significantly alleviate the workload of teachers in selecting vocabulary in
reading text which is conventionally based on teachers‟ intuition and perception. The sample
text in this paper was selected from VOA website which may not be found in the textbooks
currently used at schools. The paper ends with some implication for teaching about
vocabulary selection.
