Learner Resources3: Academic English Words
Wiktionary offers us an academic word list (See a brief intro below).
Click on the link ( http://simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Academic_word_list ) for the word list.
If you are supposed to talk about 2 words from the list,
make a post before the weekend,
telling us what the 2 words are and why!
"The Academic Word List (AWL) was developed by Averil Coxhead at the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. The list contains 570 word families which were selected because they appear with great frequency in a broad range of academic texts. [...]
The 570 words are divided into 10 sublists. The sublists are ordered such that the words in the first sublist are the most frequent words and those in the last sublist are the least frequent." (From: Wiktionary)
