Academic Word List
In this section you can do is for all groups of the academic word list.
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 list
does not include words that are in the most frequent 2000 words of English
(the General Service List), thus making it specific to academic contexts. The
AWL was primarily made so that it could be used by teachers as part of a
program preparing learners for tertiary level study or used by students working
alone to learn the words most needed to study at colleges and universities.
The 570 words are divided into 10 Groups. The Groups are ordered such that the
words in the first Group are the most frequent words and those in the last Group
are the least frequent.
