Hello! We have been looking at expanding and developing our vocabulary. I would like for you to take some time in this post to share information about HOW you expand and increase your vocabulary knowledge. WHAT do you do? How do you remember it?
As well, please include a link to a website that you like to use to increase and improve your vocabulary comprehension. Have you ever heard of the Academic Word List (the AWL)? Check it out! It is very beneficial to know the words in this list because it contains words which appear with high frequency in English-language academic texts. The list was compiled by Averil Coxhead at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
You will need to know this academic vocabulary if you want to study in an English-speaking college or university. In fact, because these words are so common, they are even useful to those who do not plan to go on to post-secondary study in English. These are words that you will frequently see in newspapers, magazines, and novels, and hear on television, movies or in conversation.
Here is a
link to the AWL. You are welcome :) enjoy
