| 00:0-1 | okay . Talking about academic words , The definition a | |
| 00:03 | word used in educational settings more than in conversation , | |
| 00:07 | often a more precise word in place of a common | |
| 00:11 | word . So , for example , academic words like | |
| 00:14 | analysis and justify are common in an educational setting . | |
| 00:20 | Remember , academic , describe schools or education , and | |
| 00:23 | an academy such as Inside Academy is a type of | |
| 00:27 | school so academic like school words . Then we have | |
| 00:32 | domain specific words . The definition is a word having | |
| 00:36 | to dio with a specific field of activity or study | |
| 00:40 | . So , for example , meter rhyme scheme and | |
| 00:43 | figurative language are domain specific words related to poetry . | |
| 00:48 | Remember , a domain sometimes refers to an area of | |
| 00:51 | land such as the king's domain . It can also | |
| 00:54 | refer to a specific subject or topic . So here | |
| 00:59 | we have some examples . We have common words on | |
| 01:01 | the left , with academics on the right , you | |
| 01:03 | can see the difference . Look at the angle of | |
| 01:06 | the lover versus observe the angle of the lover . | |
| 01:10 | Tell an anecdote from your life versus narrate an anecdote | |
| 01:14 | from your life . Figure out the distance between two | |
| 01:17 | cities versus calculate the distance between the two cities . | |
| 01:22 | So when is it better to use academic words rather | |
| 01:26 | than common words . And why , often in a | |
| 01:29 | school or formal setting , we have really strive for | |
| 01:33 | those academic vocabulary works . Okay , When is it | |
| 01:39 | better to use common words than academic words ? And | |
| 01:41 | why , perhaps inm or informal situations with a more | |
| 01:46 | general audience ? Um , with anyone who might not | |
| 01:50 | be familiar with some of the academic words that would | |
| 01:53 | be more appropriate . And you can consider which kind | |
| 01:58 | of word is mawr informative about its topic and academic | |
| 02:03 | word or common word ? And why ? Hopefully you | |
| 02:07 | came up with the idea that an academic word is | |
| 02:10 | mawr informative because it is more specific . We also | |
| 02:17 | want to look at context clues , which may explain | |
| 02:20 | or restate the meaning oven unfamiliar word , comparing contrast | |
| 02:24 | and unfamiliar word with something that is more familiar . | |
| 02:28 | Give one or more examples of an unfamiliar word in | |
| 02:30 | action and define an unfamiliar word explicitly . So here | |
| 02:36 | we have a reading passage are going to use context | |
| 02:40 | clues okay and looking ahead here , it says this | |
| 02:43 | sentence compares in contrast , numismatists with another type of | |
| 02:48 | collector to suggest what each collects . So using context | |
| 02:53 | clues to figure out words , we don't know . | |

| 03:00 | for collecting , although , while feel the Telus collect | |
| 03:04 | tiny pieces of paper that gets stuck on to envelopes | |
| 03:10 | , numismatists prefer little clinking pieces of metal . So | |
| 03:16 | this sentence offers an explanation of what numismatist ous Uncle | |
| 03:22 | Alfie's hobby as a numismatist has taken him to coin | |
| 03:26 | shops all over the world in a search for rare | |
| 03:29 | additions to his collection . So we may be starting | |
| 03:33 | to get an idea of what is a numismatist , | |
| 03:35 | or what do they collect based off thes context clues | |
| 03:40 | . Okay , dimes from the Civil War era British | |
| 03:44 | shilling pieces from the early 20th century , even an | |
| 03:47 | ancient Roman coin of stamps , silver , thes and | |
| 03:51 | more were in the collection of Uncle Alfie than numismatist | |
| 03:55 | . So this sentence provides examples of the items in | |
| 03:58 | a numismatist collection . Uncle Alfie is a lifelong numismatist | |
| 04:05 | , a collector of coins , So we are getting | |
| 04:10 | the idea on unf Amillia word using those context clues | |
| 04:19 | . So context clues tell us the meaning . So | |

| 04:25 | the paper yesterday . Students read and class daily were | |
| 04:28 | using the words around us in that sentence the time | |
| 04:32 | when something happened , etcetera . How often it happens | |
| 04:35 | to know whether we should say read or red right | |
