Academic Vocabulary and Collocations

Level Up Your Language

Advanced vocabulary and natural word combinations (collocations) can boost your TOEFL score.

What Are Collocations?

Collocations are words that often go together, like "take notes" or "make a decision." Using them correctly shows you understand real English usage.

Building Your Word Bank

  • Learn prefixes, suffixes, and roots to guess word meanings.
  • Study academic word lists.
  • Notice how words are used together in sample texts.

Real-World Relevance

Using academic vocabulary and collocations helps you sound natural and professional in essays, presentations, and emails.

Examples

  • Using 'conduct research' instead of 'do research' in an essay.

  • Identifying that 'strong argument' is a better collocation than 'powerful argument.'

In a Nutshell

Strong academic vocabulary and collocations help you communicate more effectively.
