Academic Vocabulary

学术词汇

Description

Acquire and use accurately a broad range of general academic vocabulary and domain-specific words — drawing new vocabulary from reading and listening and deploying it consciously in writing and speech to achieve particular effects

Mastery Evidence

✓ Use academic vocabulary (e.g., analyse, evaluate, justify, convey, imply) accurately and appropriately in essay writing
✓ Incorporate domain-specific terms from a subject studied (e.g., 'photosynthesis', 'legislature') into explanatory writing
✓ Draw a new word or phrase from a text read and use it consciously in own writing or speech

Assessment Prompt

Does your child pick up new words from books and lessons and actually use them in their own writing and conversation — not just understand them when someone else uses them?
