The Ultimate TOEFL Vocabulary List570 Words You Need to KnowThe Ultimate TOEFL Vocabulary ListAn Introduction to the Academic Word Family ListThis is a list of 570 words you need to know if you want to understand the text in the reading and lecturesin the listening passage. This list is not exclusive to the TOEFL, but is rather a copy of the original AcademicWord List (AWL).The Academic Word List (AWL) was first developed by noted linguist Averil Coxhead in 2001. She compileda corpus of academic journals and texts across various disciplines and cross-checked each work to findsome of the most common academic vocabulary. In the end, she published the Academic Word List (AWL),a concise catalog of the 570 most common words in academic English. No matter what the subject, youcan expect to encounter these 570 words.The TOEFL is designed to measure whether you are prepared to enter a North American university. Thereading texts and listening passages are a reflection of the type of material you can expect to encounter ina freshman-level course. If you need to improve your vocabulary for the TOEFL, particularly for the readingsection, this list will be a tremendous help.About the ListThis is a variation of the AWL. We refer to this list as the Academic Word Family List. Not only do weinclude each of the headwords listed in the AWL, but we also show its variations. Here’s an example below:All words in each row are connected to the meaning of the headword. So, if you know that abstract meansexisting in thought as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence than you know that other wordslike abstraction or abstractly should be somewhat connected to the original meaning of abstract .Words are not islands, they are part of a larger family.The goal of this list is to not only expand your vocabulary but show you that when you learn one word, youlearn all the forms of that one word.2
The Ultimate TOEFL Vocabulary List570 Words You Need to KnowA word of caution, do NOT study every word in each word family. Instead, only focus on understanding themeaning of the headword. If you know the headword, then you can make an accurate guess of themeaning of its variations.A Few NotesHere are a few things to consider before you get started studying the Academic Word Family List.1. All word variations must correspond to the original meaning of the headword. So, for example, the wordconduct . I assumed that the meaning of conduct was related to the manner in which a person behaves.However, conduct also means to transmit energy , usually in the form of electricity . Words like conduction andconductivity were not included in this instance because the meaning did not correspond to the originalheadword.***The only exception to this was the suffixes -ism and -ist , which alone carry almost the same meaningwhen added to any word. -ist usually implies a believer in a school of though t and -ism usually means aschool of thought . Also, both of these suffixes make a noun.2. Most of the variants include a bound derivational suffix added to the end. Some suffixes with similarendings and meanings were shortened and lumped together since the aim of this chart is to providestudents with the most important suffixes that convey a meaning or part of speech. Here are a fewexamples: -ical -al (a problem, -al also is a noun form)-ier -er-ary, -ery -ry (a problem because -ary and -ery two separate meanings)-ization, -cation -tion-ologist -ist-acy -cy-ically -ly-eous, -ious -ous-al ( noun) - action or process-al, -ial, -ical (adj.) - characterized by, related to-ery, -ry - noun place, condition, practice, quality-ary - also noun, person or thing belonging to-acy , -cy (noun) - state, condition, quality3
The Ultimate TOEFL Vocabulary List570 Words You Need to Know3. Words that contained a bound derivational suffix, but contained a variant spelling were not underlined. resoluble - spelled differently than -able, -ibleanalyst - spelled differently than -ist4. Free morphemes and inflectional morphemes were excluded from this list.5. This is meant for students to see a connection between separate words. Over time, as you continue tointeract with and read through this list, you will begin to recognize patterns in the bound morphemes.4
