• The Vocabulary of Test Directions : Wordshop : Vocabulary.com

  "Jim Burke's classic guide for the teaching of English, The English Teacher's Companion, is now in its fourth edition, but one element that has remained intact over the years is a list of 358 academic vocabulary words Burke culled from a survey of textbooks, assignments, standards, and examinations. Although the term academic vocabulary means different things to different educators, I like to think of Burke's use of the term as representing the vocabulary of directions. This notion of paying attention to the most commonly used words in directing students to think and perform in different ways is a vital one, since as Burke puts it, "You cannot expect to succeed on assignments if you do not understand the directions." Teachers, if the thought of addressing 358 academic vocabulary terms in your limited class time is daunting, send your students to learn the words on their own time from this Vocabulary.com word list based on Burke's list and then focus your valuable class time on a subset of the words that you find to be the most critical. Burke recently came out with this "A-List" of 15 academic vocabulary words that he based on what his current teaching colleagues decided are central to all subjects and in keeping with the Common Core."
