Exercises for Minimum Comp Vocabulary

Sentences found by students

The Compleat Lexical Tutor’s Vocabulary profile – enter your own text (an article you are going to study) as a .txt file and the Vocabulary profile transforms it into a text like this

Where the blue words are among the first 1000, the green words among the second 1000 and the yellow words are in the Academic word list, and the red words outside these three lists.

On top of which it actually gives you the list of each group

and tells you which are non-cognates for French speakers (Tom Cobb is Canadian)

And of course there is Quizlet where a search for MCSEwords gives the growing number of Minimum Competence words available to play with.

And we hope there will be more videos soon on the you tube channel elanggrenoble
