Abstract
Undergraduate international students studying the sciences at universities need to gain a command of fundamental specialized terms equivalent to the high school graduate level. This study identified a list of vocabulary that should be learned. The study drew on indexes of terms from 30 junior and senior high school textbooks in three chemistry-related subjects, and identified 774 target terms listed in 50% or more of the indexes for each individual subject. When terms appearing in multiple subjects are omitted, those appearing in high school-level Chemistry I made up just under 70% of the terms with 529 terms.
