Welcome!

This website is to help you as you learn and study vocabulary from the Academic Word List (AWL).  Approximately 250 of the AWL words are used here, divided into 6 sets.  Just to make it easier for us to learn this semester.

Some of the resources on this website include:

  • Sample sentences - these will help you get a better sense of the word's use and meaning.  However, don't rely only on these examples.  Try to find more from your favorite online dictionary.  
  • Listening exercises - listen to the word being used in a sentence, and choose the best paraphrase, based on the meaning of the AWL word in focus.  Great listening practice too!
  • Other activities - I will post more activities as I come up with them
