Welcome to Advanced Academic Vocabulary with GTB!Today, I introduced myself and you gave a short introduction speech and you shared some information about yourself.
Vocabulary Level Test
We took a test to check our vocabulary level. This will help me know how best to teach you. It will also help you know better how to study.
NGSL & NAWL
Two very valuable tools for improving your vocabulary are the New General Service List (NGSL) and the New Academic Word List (NAWL).
Vocabulary may be the most important single part of learning a language. Choosing the right vocabulary is also important. The right vocabulary is most frequent vocabulary that you do not yet know. The NGSL and the NAWL are the most accurate lists of the most frequent vocabulary in the English language. Master these first and your English will improve faster.
You can find resources for these lists at their websites linked below:
New General Service List
New Academic Word List
You can begin to study these words using the apps listed on their website, or with Quizlet.
