Drawing on qualitative research pattern, this study obtains its data through document analysis. The textbooks in this study are examined using the “Evaluation Form for Methods and Techniques Used in Vocabulary Teaching” developed by the researchers. This study draws on content analysis to analyze and interpret the data. Findings of the study show that the textbooks for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade secondary school level used all methods and techniques for vocabulary teaching for 473 times.

Furthermore, this study reveals that the methods and techniques intended to develop receptive vocabulary outnumber those intended to develop productive vocabulary in the activities for vocabulary for all grades. Future research to be periodically performed on the qualities and diversity of the methods and techniques used in the activities for vocabulary teaching would importantly help scholars in the relevant field and provide significant insights into the developments in the field to textbook writers and publishing houses.
