This paper argues that grading in the EFL/EIL (English as an international language) lexical syllabus takes place within the limitations of the basic area of English vocabulary. This is shown to be a consequence of the non-departure from 'general interest' topics, or topics that are deemed central to learning a target language, in the lexical aspect of multilevel syllabuses. The study demonstrates that what is called English for general purposes is basic English. and that, perhaps surprisingly, it remains so in intermediate and upper levels in some widely used coursebooks.
