In order to study the causes of difficulty L2 children have in learning social studies, it is necessary to discern the knowledge and interpretation L2 children have regarding the vocabulary of their social-studies textbook. For that purpose, it is necessary to show clearly what vocabulary is used in social studies education. The first step in this research was to investigate the nouns currently used in the authorized social studies textbook. It became clear that, as children move up in grades, the rate at which nouns other than those that are part of the basic vocabulary appear increases as well. Additionally, it has been observed that the appearance of vocabulary that has been selected as basic vocabulary for adults also increases.
