Students ´ Levels acc to amount of vocab
|
|
Guys,
I think I need your help.
I tried googling but probably I ´m not googling the right way...
I would like to find something about the students ´ levels according to the amount of vocabulary they know, for instance Beginner 1000 words, Elementary 2000 words, and so on.
I ´ll keep looking, meanwhile do you happen to know of anything like this, please?
Thanks! |

I think that graded readers usually have this information on the covers. |

Yes, dawnmain, you ´re right Penguin Readers and MacMillan readers have this classification.
Here ´s one copied from the back of a penguin Reader:
EASYSTARTS 200 HEADWORDS
LEVEL 1 300 HEADWORDS BEGINNER
LEVEL 2 600 HEADWORDS ELEMENTARY
LEVEL 3 1200 HEADWORDS PRE-INTERMEDIATE
LEVEL 4 1700 HEADWORDS INTERMEDIATE
Hope it helps, have to go. Bye |

Thank you!
A headword is not the same as any other word? A pronoun for instance or words like "is" or "the" would not be considered headwords?
Thanks again! |

I guess headwords are key words or topic words, such as colours, verbs, numbers, etc. |
