Improve your academic vocabulary and grammar structures

A group in class Approximately 2000 headwords form the basis of all language use. You will know these word families which cover 80% of the vocabulary used in texts. There are, however, a further 570 word families which form part of academic vocabulary, contributing a further 10% of the vocabulary you will need for your academic study.

In this series of workshops we focus on:

Examples of grammar structures which are relevant in academic contexts only.
Key nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and expressions which are commonly used in academic contexts.

Please note that different material will be used in each 2-hour session.
