Now in an expanded two-book series, the research-based Focus on Vocabulary breaks down this seemingly daunting task into achievable, short-term language acquisition goals. Focus on Vocabulary 2: Mastering the Academic Word List uses thorough recycling of academic words and well-crafted exercises to introduce high-intermediate and advanced students to the vocabulary they need for academic and test-taking success."
