AB Textbooks are important tools to develop the lexical competence of English foreign language learners. Howeverteachers and researchers have paid little attention to the language input contained in textbooks, particularly as far as therepresentation of knowledge dimensions in vocabulary activities is concerned. The present study pursued twoobjectives. Firstly, it aimed at the identification of the dimensions involved in the vocabulary activities included in twoEnglish textbooks used in the last year of Spanish compulsory education (4th year ESO). Secondly, it aimed atascertaining whether there were differences in the distribution of vocabulary knowledge dimensions in two textbooks ofthe same level. Results show that the distribution of vocabulary knowledge dimensions is different in the two textbooksunder examination, which may give rise to differences in learners’ lexical acquisition and output.
