Abstract | There is a strong need for English for academic purposes (EAP) students to expand their knowledge of academic English words. This paper describes the development of an academic English word list (AEWL) and discusses the instructional design of online vocabulary learning activities containing academic words from the list. It also explores the use of the activities in an EAP program at an Australian university. The AEWL was compiled from a thorough survey of Coxhead’s (2000) academic word list (AWL), Paquot’s (2010) academic keyword list (AKL) and academic words from various EAP textbooks and doctoral theses. To support EAP students’ learning of those words in the AEWL, a range of online activities was created by using online tools such as Kahoot! and Quizlet. The activities were then tested and evaluated by a group of EAP students who could access them in and out of the classroom. The paper provides some practical suggestions and implications for designing and using online academic vocabulary learning activities. |
