Receptive and Expressive Language Module (RELM): Word List

Receptive and Expressive Language Module (RELM): This word bank includes a list of potential nouns and verbs, in English, sorted by semantic category. It is a resource for country teams to reference during vocabulary selection to support the development of items for the receptive and expressive vocabulary subtasks within RELM. This list is designed as a flexible tool to support assessment teams in selecting potential words for their country-specific RELM. Teams are encouraged to go beyond the words in this list, adapting their selections to suit their specific cultural and linguistic contexts. The list is intended to serve as a starting point, helping teams think through word choices rather than as a prescriptive or exhaustive resource. Users of the RELM are not required to use this word list; it is a tool to help adaptation teams ideate and select appropriate words.
