The TOEFL requires more vocabulary than casual English conversation. And usually, the purpose of taking the TOEFL is to go to a university in an English speaking country. And English-language degree classes <em>definitely<\/em> require a high level of vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>Learning the vocabulary you need for English-language academics can be a lot of work. And sometimes it\u2019s hard to know exactly where to start. Fortunately, Magoosh can help! We offer a free TOEFL Vocabulary PDF. and on this blog, we\u2019re also doing a series of posts about vocabulary from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uefap.com\/vocab\/select\/awl.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Academic Word List<\/a>. This is a special list of the English vocabulary words most commonly used in higher education.<\/p>\n<p>In our last academic word list post, we looked at words that are commonly used in an area of study that\u2019s popular with international students: business. Today, we\u2019re going to look at Academic Word List vocabulary for another subject that international students often major in: <em>geopolitics<\/em>, the study of world affairs. As usually, we\u2019ll look at <em>every form<\/em> of each word. I\u2019ve included a list of the suffixes that change the forms of the words, and a chart of the noun, verb, adjective and adverb forms of each vocabulary item.<\/p>\n<p>When there are multiple forms of the word in the same grammar category, I\u2019ve included a footnote to explain the differences in meaning. If you\u2019re not sure about the meanings of any other words in the chart below, look them up on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vocabulary.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Voacublary.com<\/a>. Be sure to play the audio file for each word so you know how it sounds. Once you\u2019ve mastered these words, you\u2019ll be ready for a quiz on them, which I\u2019ll post to this blog in the next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Suffix list<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nouns:<\/strong> -ity, &#8211; ation, -ant, -tion, -ance, -al<\/p>\n<p><strong>Verbs: <\/strong>-ate, ent, -ate<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjectives<\/strong>: -ic, -ing, -ed, -ive, -ical, -ive, -able, -ent<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adverbs: <\/strong>-ally, -ly<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3045 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/magoosh-company-site\/wp-content\/uploads\/toefl\/files\/2016\/03\/31052001\/tawl-gp_img1-600x333.png\" alt=\"tawl-gp_img1\" width=\"600\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>* \u201cImmigration\u201d refers to the act of moving to a new country; \u201cimmigrant\u201d refers to a person who moves to another country.<\/p>\n<p>** \u201cReliable\u201d describes someone or something that can always be relied on; \u201creliant\u201d describes a person or thing that relies on something else.<\/p>\n<p>*** \u201cNegativity\u201d refers to the trait of being negative; \u201cnegation\u201d refers to the act of rejecting or undoing something.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning new words\u2014and lots of them\u2014is probably the goal of any student preparing for the TOEFL.
