English for Academic Study: Vocabulary Study Book - Edition 2 - Softcover

"The EAS Vocabulary Study Book is an excellent self-study book. It introduces the most commonly used words from both general and academic word family lists, which I find very useful. It also provides extensive practice. The units are based on topics such as multi-meaning words, word classes, collocations, and word grammar. Each unit has weblinks offering additional information and activities, and the appendix also provides an extensive list of word families." Margaret Oertig for ETAS Journal, Vol. 30, No 3, Summer 2013 "Vocabulary would work well in class, and is a valuable contribution to the pre-sessional classroom." Clare Anderson for the ESP SIG Journal, Issue 41, April 2013
