research-based vocabulary textbook that gives high-intermediate to
advanced students the advantage they need to succeed in academic
environments. Through excerpts from college texts and well-crafted
exercises, English learners study the Academic Word List - the most

fuller understanding of the new vocabulary, each chapter provides a
series of exercises on word meanings, word families, and
collocation. Features

change, consumer behavior, natural resources, and music.
- Each main chapter carefully recycles the target words four
times in reading passages and vocabulary-building exercises.

tools they need to better comprehend the materials they read.
Activities include recognizing an author's point of view and
synthesizing information from multiple readings.
- The collocations exercises - based on the 179-million-word New
Longman Corpus - reflect how academic words are actually used in
real contexts.

discussion, and writing activities that broaden students'
understanding of vocabulary.

information about word roots and affixes, and methods for expanding
