Core Vocabulary | A Note to Students

One of the goals of the MCC ESOL Program is to help you increase your English vocabulary. There are many different ways to increase vocabulary, and successful students know that they have to use a combination of strategies for learning and practicing vocabulary to reach advanced levels of English proficiency. The ESOL Program Core Vocabulary Booklet is a resource to use in all of your ESOL courses. It includes the 2,800 general service words as well as the 963 academic words (in italics). Learning these words is the quickest, most efficient way to improve your English fluency – see below for an explanation. You can find more information about learning vocabulary and links to online Quizlet practice on the ESOL Program website.

The Research

Thanks to advanced research in the field of second language acquisition and brain-based learning coupled with sophisticated computer software that can analyze massive amounts of language, we now know which words English learners should study. While most native-speakers know thousands of word families, research has shown that approximately 2,800 words make up about 90% of the words we use every day. These most important, common, high-frequency words in English are called the New General Service List (NGSL). You should study these words first. You probably know a lot of them already.

In addition to the 2,800 core words, special purpose vocabulary is also important. Interestingly, when researchers analyzed special vocabulary being used across college campuses in different disciplines (science, business, human services, etc.), a lot of the words were the same. In fact, so many words were the same that they came up with an academic vocabulary list that college students need to know to be successful in any discipline. It includes words like assignment, circulate, and facilitate. There are 963 vocabulary words in the New Academic Word List. These words will help you in whatever program you hope to study at MCC.
