 note = {This article provides a practical example of how English teachers can use the vocabulary profiling application, New Word Level Checker—NWLC (https://nwlc.pythonanywhere.com/) to evaluate the lexical difficulty of teaching materials. NWLC provides teachers with a quick and objective approach for appraising the difficulty of a prospective text, test, or worksheet. The paper begins with an introduction to the coverage comprehension model (McLean, 2021) and its implications for selecting classroom materials. Importantly, this section discusses the recommended coverage benchmarks for different receptive modalities, or what percentage of words learners have to know from a text to sufficiently comprehend it. A step-by-step example of how to use the NWLC to measure the lexical difficulty of a TED® talk follows.},
