The predominance of vocabulary has long been recognised as one of the language related factors that contributes to academic success. This mixed method study measured vocabulary use in the writing produced by first year undergraduate students, in two introductory classes of applied linguistics. The resulting vocabulary profiling revealed that higher scoring assignments demonstrated higher vocabulary proficiency. Information obtained from interviews supported the viewpoint that students who wrote well and achieved academic success, possessed good language and vocabulary proficiencies. The findings suggest interventions designed to support new students as they adapt to the academic language demands of a discipline should include some form of diagnostic assessment to determine needs, but in-class, department-specific support, focused on academic writing, may be the most beneficial.
