LEAP 3: Reading and Writing

ACADEMIC WORD LIST

You encounter new words every day, but it's sometimes difficult to know which ones are important. You could look at a list of the
most frequent words in English, but this might not give you the vocabulary knowledge you need for your college or university studies.
As a graduate student in New Zealand, Averil Coxhead considered this problem and developed a comprehensive list of academic
words that are common across many fields of study. Her Academic Word List (AWL) contains 570-word families that can help you
with your studies. Each word family is made up of a headword and related forms.

LEAP 3: Reading and writing features many AWL words, listed below. The word families appear in Column 1, with the headword in bold.
Column 2 points to their use in LEAP 3: Reading and writing or on My eLab. Column 3 shows the sublist to which the word family belongs.
The AWL is divided into ten sublists: sublist 1 contains the most common academic words and sublist 10 contains the least common.
Knowing which sublist a word is in helps you understand how frequently it’s used. Building a better vocabulary will help you succeed as a
student. Take time to learn the AWL words in LEAP 3: Reading and writing and to explore the full AWL lists at
http://www.victoria.ac.nz/lals/resources/academicwordlist.
