Academic Vocabulary
English · Vocabulary · procedural
Acquire and use accurately a broad range of general academic vocabulary and domain-specific words — drawing new vocabulary from reading and listening and deploying it consciously in writing and speech to achieve particular effects
What mastery looks like
- Use academic vocabulary (e.g., analyse, evaluate, justify, convey, imply) accurately and appropriately in essay writing
- Incorporate domain-specific terms from a subject studied (e.g., 'photosynthesis', 'legislature') into explanatory writing
- Draw a new word or phrase from a text read and use it consciously in own writing or speech
Check your understanding
Does Academic Vocabulary pick up new words from books and lessons and actually use them in their own writing and conversation — not just understand them when someone else uses them?
