All those concerned with English language instruction would likely concur that\"vocabulary is the Everest of a language\" (Crystal, 2003). Indeed, the most fascinating and demanding activity in language acquisition is teaching and learning vocabulary. ESP teachers face a unique challenge: helping students who will work professionally in various fields, from natural sciences to humanities, understand and adopt the technical vocabulary of a particular area. In this brief overview, we will contribute to acquiring technical vocabulary in chemistry.  \nOver the last seven decades, numerous authors have compiled word lists for various purposes, ranging from general English (General Service List, West, 1953) to university vocabulary (University Word List, Xue and Nation, 1984), academic needs (New Academic Word List, Coxhead, 2000), and even a word list specifically for chemistry students (Chemistry Academic WordList, Valipouri andNassaji, 2013). While each list has its benefits and drawbacks, they should all be regarded as helpful toolsfor learning new vocabulary, whetherforESP or general English.  \nThe technical vocabulary of the natural sciences, particularly chemistry, is generally composed of words of Greek and Latin origin that are widely accepted in many languages, aiding in the acquisition of technical vocabulary. In this paper, we suggest several options for teaching this vocabulary. These include the examples and sources of suitable materials based on identified needs, focusing on wordfamily determination, and creating lexical chunks for chemistry students.  \nKey words: ESP, chemistry vocabulary, word lists  \n1. WORD LISTS  \nWhen talking about English vocabulary, a hundred-year analysis of its corpus has shown that only about 2000 words make up 70-95% of the text regardless of its source (Gilner, 2011), which resulted in the compilation of the General Service List (GSL) (West, 1954). It still represents an unrivalled list of words for general English usage. Various levels of vocabulary have been studied by many researchers, but the classification into four levels (high-frequency words, academic vocabulary, technical vocabulary, and low-frequency words) still seems unmatched (Nation, 2001) . Guided by a similar idea, Xue and Nation compiled the University Word List of 836 words divided into 11 levels according to frequency of use, and a little later, the Academic Word List (AWL) of 570 words in 10 levels was established in the fields of arts, commerce, law, and science (Coxhead, 2000) . Given that this vocabulary consists of common words for various academic fields, it can  \nSubmitted January 14th, 2025, accepted for publication February 26th, 2025  \nCorresponding author: Ljiljana Vukićević Đorđević, Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, Serbia  \nE-mail: [ljiljana.vukicevic@pmf.kg.ac.rs](ljiljana.vukicevic@pmf.kg.ac.rs)  \nonly be considered a unique set that is relevant to all. However, when we talk about technical vocabulary, it should be noted that it contains words that frequently appear in specialized texts but are almost non-existent outside of them.  \nIn addition to those mentioned above, the Chemistry Academic Word List (CAWL)(Valipouri & Nassaji, 2013) was created for the field of chemistry, based on the abundance of chemistry articles dealing with analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical/theoretical chemistry. This list ranks 1400 units, including the headword and related word forms. Considering a limited corpus the list is compiled on, the word families do not always include all existing members.
