Many studies have shown the importance of vocabulary in learning a second language. However, only a few studies explored the presentation of vocabulary in Year 5 English textbook (English Plus 1). This study aims to explore teachers’ evaluation of the new vocabulary in the textbook. This study employed a quantitative method. A total of 10 teachers from suburban and urban Chinese Type Primary School in Perak, Malaysia were selected using a convenience sampling technique. The questionnaires were adapted from Hussin, Nimehchisalem and Kalajahi (2015). The findings revealed that the textbook does an excellent job of presenting vocabulary. It was discovered that no particular approach was used to teach the new vocabulary. At the end of the textbook, there was no glossary of the new vocabulary. The findings have consequences for students and English language teachers. This paper is also meant to give teachers with ideas for to improve their approaches in teaching vocabulary and correcting inadequacies in the presentation of vocabulary in textbooks.
