Blachowicz, Fisher, Ogle Watts (2006) shows that vocabulary learning is a complex process. To facilitate vocabulary teaching and learning, numerous vocabulary lists have been developed. Of them, West’s (1953) General Service List (GSL) is the most influential general-purpose word list for its high coverage and wide distribution across various texts. Nonetheless, a number of limitations of the GSL have been identified, such as its old age, qualitative principles of item selection and format of word family. To address the limitations, Brezina and Gablasova (2015) provides a new word list named the New General Service List (new-GSL). It claims that the new-GSL serves well across a variety of texts in both written and spoken texts. However, most of the source corpora were written texts and its spoken component explained only 0.08% of the corpora. For the unbalanced feature of the written and spoken components in its source corpora, the validity of the new-GSL in spoken contexts is necessary to be examined. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the coverage of the New General Service List (the new-GSL) in different spoken contexts. Three research questions are addressed: 1) To what extent do the new-GSL words cover spoken English across various spoken contexts? 2) To what extent do the new-GSL words cover spoken English across different frequency bands? 3) Is there any word frequently used in spoken contexts but not included in the new-G
