What does learning a new word mean? Can you learn just by reading or listening to English? How are you going to plan your learning? We felt it was time to revise the book for three main reasons. Firstly, technology and other social changes have brought a number of new words and expressions into everyday use. Secondly, we have collected feedback from users of the book all over the world who have made many helpful suggestions that we have been able to incorporate into our new edition.
Thirdly, we have access to the Cambridge International Corpus to help inform the choice, presentation and practice of vocabulary items. What is the same about the new edition? What is different about the new edition? In the new edition we have revised each unit to ensure that it is now at upper-intermediate level. We have done this by cutting words that were either too advanced or too easy, replacing them with words more relevant to the level. Frequency data from the Cambridge International Corpus helped inform our decisions here.
We have also clarified our presentation of vocabulary by adding artwork to make the vocabulary easier to understand.
There is now more contextualisation of vocabulary and we have also provided more grammar and pronunciation information about the vocabulary we present. In revising English Vocabulary in Use: Upper-intermediate we have made considerable use of the Cambridge International Corpus of written and spoken English.
This enabled us to check that the example contexts for the language presented were the most natural ones. Where necessary, we have suggested different, more frequent, collocations or contexts. The process of updating the materials has also allowed us to introduce some new units as requested by teachers and students.
