About the AWL:

Available in English, Japanese and Thai

The Academic Word List was developed by Dr. Averil Coxhead, Professor at Victoria University of Wellington. This list of 570 words are the most frequent and most important academic words outside of the core 2000 GSL words of English. The list is used with permission.

About Intelligent Flashcards:

The app also contains an Intelligent Wordlist Maker and Intelligent Flashcard system.

The Intelligent Wordlist Maker helps you to quickly and efficiently pick only the words you don’t know for study in the flashcard system. Rather than force you to go through the entire list at once, Intelligent Wordlist Maker guides you through the list by frequency bands, allowing you to add words little by little, just as you need them or when you have time.

Based on the well documented science of “spaced-repetition”, the Intelligent Flashcard system systematically and efficiently helps you to review the words several times over a period of a month, giving you extra time with the words that are giving you difficulty.
