The Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary defines the vocabulary
students need to succeed in high school and beyond. Its entries
include more than 2,000 key vocabulary items from the content areas
of American and world history, social studies, language arts, math,
the arts, chemistry, earth science, physics, and other disciplines,
as well as the more general vocabulary used in academic writing and
speech, such as 'analyze', 'derive', and 'subsequent'. The
dictionary also provides full coverage of the everyday words and
phrases students need to know. It is based on extensive corpus
research and developed with the needs of English learners in mind.
