How to teach the Academic Word List – LINK UPDATED
One of my main tips in the article is to combine the vocab with phrases they will also need, as I’ve tried to do in these worksheets:
Academic Word List giving examples phrases practice
Academic Word List advantages and disadvantages phrases practice
Academic Word List phrases for expressing purpose practice
Academic Word List comparing and contrasting phrases practice
Academic Word List practice of expressing cause and effect
The article also mentions analysing the AWL for kinds of academic vocabulary that they’ll use more often, as I’ve attempted to do here:
Academic Word List trends language
Academic Word List vocabulary for expressing certainty and uncertainty
Academic Word List positive and negative connotations
Academic Word List vocabulary with negative prefixes
Other (older) AWL worksheets:
Academic Word List collocations pairwork
