About the Author
Keith Burgess has been working at the
chalk
face
of EAP
(English
for Academic Purposes) since
1992. Of particular interest to him has been the
question of how to move Intermediate, and
especially Upper Intermediate, students closer
to the status
of
fi rst language users.
Keith has a degree in linguistics from Canterbury
University and a TESOL qualification.

Foreword
One fundamental requirement for a good score in IELTS - or any other complex
English language test - is the possession of a well-developed vocabulary. This
is not at all surprising; teachers and students alike instinctively know when
it
is the lack of words that is holding back progress.
First and foremost, a chosen word must be right for its purpose. Finding the
right word or phrase can be frustrating at times for native English speakers, but
English language learners are disadvantaged by being unable to hear
if
their
choice is appropriate. Something else must suffice and that can really only be
targeted practice. Secondly,
if
its acquisition is to be of any real value, a new
word or phrase must be familiar within a variety of contexts.
Keith's Method achieves both aims; that of acquisition and correct application.
With regular study a student's word bank will quickly enlarge, and the
vocabulary will belong where it is used - all in the shortest a.mount oftime.
The Method is in three parts; it is simple to apply, and it works. Try it and see.
Terry Peck
How the 1001 Superwords and phrases were selected:
" These 1001 words and phrases were culled from various freely available
word lists of universities and texts. Words that were thought to pe
tOO
commonplace such as "transport", "adult" or "odd" were rejected, as
were words that seemed too specific to academic subjects such as
"aggregate",
"chapter"
and
"ethic".
If
the Academic Word List of The School of Linguistics and Applied
Language Studies of Victoria University, Wellington, is consulted, it
will
be found that 345 of the first 500 headwords are included. Not only
the so-called headwords were used, but there has been a conscious
effort to present a variety of forms. These words were also found to
have high frequency in academic texts. "
