The Academic Word List
The Academic Word List, compiled by Coxhead (2000), consists of 570 word families that are not in the most frequent 2,000 words of English but which occur reasonably frequently over a very wide range of academic texts. These 570 words are grouped into ten sublists that reflect word frequency and range. A word like analyze falls into Sublist 1, which contains the most frequency words, while the word adjacent falls into Sublist 10 which includes the least frequent (amongst this list of high incidence and high utility words). The following ten sublists contain the headwords of the families in the Academic Word List. In other words, the ten sublists contain the most frequent form of the word, more often a noun or verb form, although there may be one or more important related word forms. For example, the headword analyze would also include analyst, analytic, analytical and analytically in the word family.
The Academic Word List is not restricted to a specific field of study. That means that the words are useful for learners studying in disciplines as varied as literature, science, health, business, and law. This high utility academic word list does not contain technical words likely to appear in only one, specialized field of study such as amortization, petroglyph, onomatopoeia, or cartilage. Two-thirds of all academic English words come from Latin, French (through Latin) or Greek. Understandably, knowledge of the most high incidence and high utility academic words in English can significantly boost a student’s comprehension level of school-based reading material. Secondary students who are taught these high-utility academic words and routinely placed in contexts requiring their usage are likely to be able to master academic material with more confidence and efficiency, wasting less time and energy in guessing words or consulting dictionaries than those who are only equipped with the most basic 2000-3000 words that characterize ordinary conversation.
Color-code your vocabulary walls and show all forms on the wall whenever possible -- Noun (Blue), Verb (Red), Adjective (Green), Adverb (Yellow) and show all forms on your wall. For example, analyze (red verb), analysis (blue noun), analytically (yellow adverb) etc.
