In this section you can do practice tests 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
programme 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.
