- Abstract
Vocabulary is the basic part of a language, especially for a foreign language like German. The more vocabulary means the better is someone at communicating. Mastery of vocabulary as material for one’s communication should be developed throughout life because language is always evolving. Related to this, the paper aims to describe (1) the development of vocabulary in the textbook Netzwerk A1, and (2) The favorite vocabulary in every chapter. The research was conducted with data collection procedures, data categorization, data analysis, and conclusions. The source of the research data is the Netzwerk A1. Data from the book is used as the corpus of research data. Data was collected using the Simple Concordance Program (SCP), a concordance software to count the tokens and types of words. Data were taken from Netzwerk A1 (12 chapters). The results of the analysis show that (1) the development of the number of vocabulary in Netzwerk A1 switches to constantly rising at the beginning of a chapter, but then grows and drops unevenly from the middle to the end of a chapter; (2) the three high-frequency vocabularies in Netzwerk A1 are ich, der, and sein. The results of this study can be used by learners to further improve vocabulary so that the development of German learning will be better.
