Activate your academic vocabulary

Let's start by looking at the vocabulary you need to use in your academic writing. In academic writing it’s very important to say exactly what you mean, in a suitable style – and choosing the right type of vocabulary is an important place to start. You need to be careful that the words you're using aren't too informal, vague or emotive. Scroll down and try these activities to upgrade your academic vocabulary knowledge!

Words NOT to use in academic writing

In British academic writing, we tend not to use:

  • informal words like 'big' or 'good'
  • many phrasal verbs, like 'give up' or 'put off' – these are too informal
  • some vague words with too many possible meanings, like 'thing' or 'get'
  • 'emotive' words, which express personal feelings, like 'fantastic' or 'terrible'
