*** THE BEST VOCABULARY APPS IN THE APP STORE ***Knowji makes the highest quality and most effective vocabulary apps in the App Store. You won't believe how quickly you'll learn! Knowji AWL+ is Common Core aligned.* The AWL (Academic Word List) was developed by Averil Coxhead at the world renowned School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies at Victoria Univ. of Wellington, New Zealand. The list of words were selected because they appear with great frequency in a broad range of academic texts. This app teaches you 1100 academic words that all students, particularly ELL learners, need to know in an academic environment. *** WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT KNOWJI'S VOCAB APPS ***"I wish I had Knowji when I was learning English and applying to American Universities.
