About Intelligent Flashcards:

The app also contains an Intelligent Wordlist Maker and Intelligent Flashcard system. The Intelligent Wordlist Maker helps you to quickly and efficiently pick only the words you don’t know for study in the flashcard system. Rather than force you to go through the entire list at once, Intelligent Wordlist Maker guides you through the list by frequency bands, allowing you to add words little by little, just as you need them or when you have time.

Based on the well documented science of “spaced-repetition”, the Intelligent Flashcard system systematically and efficiently helps you to review the words several times over a period of a month, giving you extra time with the words that are giving you difficulty.

About the AWL

This application is designed to help learners and teachers make use of the highly regarded Academic Word List (AWL) developed by Dr. Averil Coxhead, Professor at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. This list of 570 words are the most frequent and most important academic words outside of the core 2000 GSL words of English. Although there are more than 600,000 words in the English language knowledge of just the 2000 core words and 570 AWL words gives you 87% coverage of words in academic texts typically used in colleges and universities.
