Academic Language
Academic Word List (AWL)
,Developed by Averil Coxhead, this list contains 570 word families that appear
frequently in academic texts across various disciplines (e.g., analyze, establish,
indicate).
It specifically excludes the most common 2,000 words in English (Basic
Interpersonal Communicative Skills or BICS).
Academic Words
These are words necessary for success in school settings. They are rarely learned
through "playground English" or informal conversation.
General Academic: Used across subjects (e.g., evaluate, contrast).
Domain-Specific: Technical terms specific to one field (e.g.,
photosynthesis, isosceles).
Cultural Dynamics
Acculturation
Unlike assimilation (where the original culture is lost), acculturation is an
additive process.
An individual adopts the values and traits of a new culture.
They retain their original cultural identity.
Result: The individual becomes bicultural, navigating both worlds
effectively.
Acquisition -ANSWER ✔✔Developing ability in a language by using it in natural
communicative situations.
Activator -ANSWER ✔✔Any endeavor that helps bring to mind students' current
or prior knowledge.
,Active engagement -ANSWER ✔✔A principle of language teaching and learning
in which learners play enjoyable, engaging , and active roles in the learning
experience.
Activity-based communicative teaching and learning (The ABC Model) -
ANSWER ✔✔The research-based model of teaching upon which this book is
based, including nine principles of teaching and learning.
Activity-based teaching and learning -ANSWER ✔✔One of the two dimensions of
the ABC Model, which focuses on what learners bring with them to the classroom
and the active role they play in the language acquisition process.
Affective filter -ANSWER ✔✔A cognitive screen that is raised or lowered
depending on the motivation and self-esteem of the learner. A low filter allows the
learner to interact easily with native speakers and receive increasingly larger
amounts of comprehensible input.
Alphabetic language system -ANSWER ✔✔A language system in which on
symbol generally represents one sound, for example, Lain, Vietnamese, English,
most European languages, and many African languages.
Analytical learner -ANSWER ✔✔This type of learner prefers individual work and
sequential learning.
Anticipation guide -ANSWER ✔✔A pre-post reading activity in which a reader
responds to the content of a reading before reading, then compares the answers
with the text after reading.
, Assimilation -ANSWER ✔✔To trade one culture for another, usually exchanging
a native or home culture for the dominant culture.
BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills) -ANSWER ✔✔Language that
occurs within a context-embedded social environment.
Bilingual education -ANSWER ✔✔A program model in which two language are
used within a classroom for the purpose of instruction by both the teacher and the
students. Bilingual education takes many forms in the United States, including
transitional, developmental, or two-way bilingual education.
Bio poem -ANSWER ✔✔A writing support structure that provides partially
completed sentences in a poem format. Students insert their individual
characteristics in the blank slots of the poem.
Bottom-up approaches -ANSWER ✔✔Approaches to reading in which the focus is
placed on developing the building blocks of reading in sequence, which may
include the ability to hear sounds, decoding skills, vocabulary and word study
skills, fluency, and comprehension.
CALLA (Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach) -ANSWER ✔✔An
instructional approach that integrates academic language development with
content-area instruction and learning strategies.
CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency) -ANSWER ✔✔The coded,
reduced language of a textbook or a test.
