This research combines corpus-based and intuition-based approaches in developing a list of important words in business news that Thai learners of business English need to know. The Thai corpus of English for Business and Economic News (Thai-EBEN) has been compiled from English business news articles in the Thai press. A computer concordancing program was used to identify keywords in the corpus. The keywords are lemmatized and words irrelevant to business and economic activities weeded out using lexical profiling and a rating scale approach conducted by expert inter-raters. Ideas on how the derived keywords can be incorporated into vocabulary exercises are discussed.
