Unlike general lists such as the Academic Word List (AWL) , which are designed for students across all disciplines, technical word lists focus on the specialized vocabulary of specific subjects. The lists below cover a range of educational levels, from middle school through to university, and include both single words and multi-word phrases. Each has been developed using corpus-based methods to provide targeted tools for building disciplinary literacy.
Secondary School Vocabulary Lists (SVL)
The Secondary School Vocabulary Lists (SVL) is a series of discipline-specific word lists for eight core subjects for secondary education (Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Geography, Math, History, Physics and English) to help students improve disciplinary literacy.
