with the kinds of language used in academic textbooks This book in and articles as well as in lectures and seminars being a student at a university or college in that It it also presents vocabulary relating to covers such topics as Applications and application forms, Money and education and Academic courses associated with university life It will be particularly useful for students preparing for IELTS or any other examination aimed at assessing whether candidates' English is at a high enough level to study in an academic institution where English is the medium of instruction It will be helpful for people who need to attend — or indeed give — lectures and presentations in English or to participate in international conferences It who have to much more natural will enable students prepare assignments or write up a dissertation in English to so in a and appropriate way What kind of vocabulary does the book deal with? The book presents and practises the kind of vocabulary that is used in academic speech and writing regardless of which discipline you are concerned with So it considers words and expressions like concept, cast doubt on, put forward a theory and come to a conclusion It does not deal with the specialist vocabulary of any particular subject such as medicine or physics Such specialist terms are often relatively easy to master will be explained and taught as you study the subject and these words may — they indeed sometimes be similar in English and your own language However, it is the more general words used for discussing ideas and research and for talking and writing about academic work that you need to be fully familiar with in order to feel comfortable in an academic environment Despite the fact that they are much more frequent than specialist words, these more general words are often felt to be more difficult to learn It is, therefore, extremely useful to approach them in the systematic way suggested by this book One positive aspect of this kind of academic vocabulary differences depending on whether you are studying in is that there are relatively few London or New York, Delhi or Sydney, Johannesburg, Dublin, Wellington, Singapore or Toronto or indeed any other where you may be using English for academic purposes Academic English tends and the units of the book focus on vocabulary that will be essential for you regardless of where you are studying now or may study in the future There are some differences between the words used to describe people and places and these are highlighted in Units 18 and 19 References and also focus on some vocabulary and spelling variations In the units of the book we use British English spelling conventions except when quoting texts which originally used American spelling place to be a truly international language Much book is neutral in the sense that it is equally appropriate and spoken contexts We indicate those instances where a word or too formal for use in speech or too informal for use in academic writing of the vocabulary in the for both written expression Academic Vocabulary in is Use How was the vocabulary for the book selected? The academic vocabulary focused on in this book was all selected from language identified as significant by the Cambridge International Corpus of written and spoken English and also the CANCODE corpus of spoken English developed at the University of Nottingham in association with Cambridge University Press These enormous corpora include large collections of written and spoken academic text and so it was possible to identify language that is distinctive for academic contexts We also made considerable use of the Cambridge Learner Corpus, a corpus of tens of thousands of learner scripts from students taking ESOL exams Cambridge all over the world From this corpus we were able to learn what kinds of errors students taking, for example IELTS, were typically making book we made considerable use of Averil Coxhead's work on developing academic word lists Her lists can be found at http://language.massey.ac.nz/staff/awl/ index.shtml and we would highly recommend that students of academic vocabulary In planning this investigate this site How is the book organised? The book has 50 two-page units The to be focused on in the unit You will left-hand page presents the academic vocabulary usually find examples of academic vocabulary presented in context with, where appropriate, any special notes about their meaning and usage The right-hand page checks hand page by giving you a The that you have understood the information on the series of exercises practising the units are organised into different sections The first left- language that was presented introductory section includes nine units which look at basic aspects of academic vocabulary such as what is special about academic vocabulary, key verbs and key quantifying expressions The second section devotes seven units to how words typically combine with one another in academic English The third section has six units focusing on aspects of life at academic The fourth ways of talking about such and cause and effect Then we have seven units exploring aspects of opinions and ideas and finally there are thirteen units with a functional focus such as institutions section provides eight units discussing things as numbers, time organising a text, comparing and contrasting and describing change Towards the end of disciplines the book you will find six reading texts relating to different with exercises based on the vocabulary in those academic We hope that you will examples of how to use texts to expand your knowledge of academic and would recommend that you read these texts and the exercises find these useful vocabulary texts in English on them even if they relate to an academic subject that is very different from your own There are six reference sections dealing with some key areas where we felt it would be useful for you to have lists of items that could not be presented as fully in the main body of the book, i.e Formal and informal academic words and expressions; Numbers, units of measurement and common symbols; British and North American academic vocabulary; Spelling variations; Word formation and Abbreviations Where appropriate, these reference sections provide space for you to add further examples of your own At the end of the book there is a Key with answers to all the exercises and an Index of the key words and expressions, indicating the units where they can be found The pronunciation is How should I all provided for standard British English use this book? We recommend that you work through the nine introductory units first so that you become familiar with key aspects of academic vocabulary and how best to study it After that you may work on the units in any order that suits you Academic Vocabulary in Use What else I need in my academic vocabulary? order to improve a notebook or file in which you can write down all the academic vocabulary you study in this book as well as any other words and expressions that you come across elsewhere In your vocabulary notebook it is important to record such things as: You need that • examples of the word or expression • typical in use word combinations — you might, for example, note down adjectives or verbs noun that you want to learn or nouns, adverbs or prepositions typically associated with a associated with a verb • any special features of the word pronunciation, or You may • also find it is it (e.g is there anything special about particularly characteristic of either written or its grammar or spoken English?) helpful to record such things as: any other information that might help you to learn the word (e.g is it similar to any word in your own language, or does it, perhaps, share a root with a word that you already know?) • any additional vocabulary that learning this word may help you to learn have a related noun, or what is the opposite of an adjective?) • any extended uses of the word being focused on (e.g can it be used metaphorically, or does the same word have other meanings in the way that so many English words do?) One very important aspect of learning vocabulary is to organise the expressions you meet; this will help you remember them better number of ways In recording words many learners find diagrams such as word bubbles, for example: a i AcoechA5ive it word forks, words and You can this in helpful to include little 51.yqe5± for example: oriqiN ideft±i$y does a verb prelimi re5LAl±5 or (e.g COMMON isolated the $4c.org LAAiver%l You also need to have access to a good dictionary We strongly recommend the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary as this provides exactly the kind of information that you need in order to be able to understand and use English vocabulary Through its example sentences it provides you with the information you need about how the word is used in practice and which other words it typically combines with The dictionary also helps you with difficult items such as phrasal verbs, for example, indicating whether the object can come before the particle (set up the apparatus / set the apparatus up;
