The First 1000 Words of English

The First 1000 Words of English 

English Language Learners, ESL, ELL and remedial reading students need to master the Tier 1 English Vocabulary found in the GSL. The 2000 words in the GSL make up 95% of spoken English and 85% or written English!

The General Service List (GSL) is a list of roughly 2000 words published by Michael West in 1953. The words were selected to represent the most frequent words of English and were taken from a corpus of written English. The target audience was and is English language learners and ESL teachers. To maximize the utility of the list, some frequent words that overlapped broadly in meaning with words already on the list were omitted. In the original publication the relative frequencies of various senses of the words were also included.
