"English Vocabulary for Academic Success" is for you if you are an
English language student. With this workbook and its dictionary,
you will learn the most important academic words that you will need
for passing the TOEFL test and other tests. These words are
important for you for understanding English in college and
university courses. "English Vocabulary for Academic Success" is
for you if you are studying English at the intermediate or advanced
level. This vocabulary book is for you if you already know about
2,000 basic English words and if you want to study at a college or
university in an English-speaking country. With "English Vocabulary
for Academic Success," you will learn 540 words from the Academic
Word List. You can check your answers using the answer key at the
end of each unit and find more information about each word in the
dictionary section. This workbook has 10 units, with 54 words per
unit. By studying for one hour a day, you can finish one unit in
about one week. Not only will your vocabulary improve, but also
your grammar will improve as you practice changing the parts of
speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc.), changing nouns from
singular to plural and changing verb endings. Your spelling will
improve because you have to spell each word accurately. There are
exercises for producing each word seven or eight times: definition
exercises (one sentence in context); "parts of speech" exercises
(two sentences in context); collocations exercises (two or three
sentences in context); synonyms Crossword Puzzles; review exercises
(one sentence in context). Each unit has a dictionary with:
definitions; parts of speech; collocations for each definition and
each part of speech; additional definitions for idiomatic uses;
synonyms; many sample sentences. Collocations are the key to
producing vocabulary words the way native speakers do. A
collocation is a word or group of words that naturally go together
with a specific word. For example, the word "context" has the
collocation "to take (something) out of." Thus, a native speaker
would say "Please don't take my words out of context." There are
thousands of collocation examples in "English Vocabulary for
Academic Success." By learning these words, you will know almost
90% of the words that you read and hear in academic situations. You
will read faster and understand much better. Your academic writing
will improve because you will be able to produce the words with
accurate grammar and spelling and use them with their correct
collocations the way native speakers do. By knowing these words,
you will have a greater chance to pass the TOEFL and other tests.
Free Quizzes: Professionally prepared quizzes for each unit are
available for instructors whose students are required to use this
textbook. Please find more information in the preface of the book.
Instructors whose second language is English will find this book
extremely useful. This book provides thousands of examples of how
native speakers of English use vocabulary in real-world situations.
There are nearly 4,000 contextualized sentences in exercises of the
ten units, as well as hundreds more sentences in the dictionary
section of each unit.
