Vocabulary profiler

If you like the vocabulary highlighters on the site (such as the AWL highlighter), you should enjoy the vocabulary profiler. It works in much the same way, but provides more detailed data, including percentage of words in different lists or levels.

The profiler covers some common lists such as the GSL + AWL, as well as other combinations that are not available elsewhere, e.g. the New-GSL + AVL, and the SVL for technical words.

Writing objectively

This new video (and accompanying webpage) considers what objective writing is, how objective academic writing is, then presents several ways to make writing more objective. As always, there is a worksheet for use with the video.
