Academic vocabulary is regarded as an important vocabulary set for students at the tertiary to master's levels. Besides academic vocabulary, field-specific vocabulary is another important set that students in different fields of study should be required to explore. The physical education and sports science English word list was created to assist physical education and sports science students in their English courses. This field-specific word list was constructed using the lexical profile, frequency, range, and expert verification as criteria. The final step provides a physical education and sports science English word list with 466 word families, which are later categorized into three groups by consulting dictionaries. This word list could be beneficial to teachers and curriculum designers aiming to create useful materials for courses concerning English for specific purposes, especially English for physical education and sports science.
