The Academic Collocation List (ACL)
The Academic Collocation List (ACL)* is a list containing 2,469 of the most frequent and useful collocations which occur in written academic English. This video gives an overview of the Academic Collocation List, with some examples, as well as some ways you can learn collocations in the ACL, namely:
1. Study words by type e.g. adj + n
2. Study collocation families e.g. academic circles, academic achievement, academic career
3. Use the ACL highlighter
4. Combine with study of the AWL
5. Learn common frames e.g. highly + charge/correlated (with)/developed/educated/structured/valued
6. Learn 10 collocations a day
CORRECTION TO VIDEO: The list is the Academic Collocation List (singular), not Academic Collocations List (plural) as referred to in the video.
