There is a body of research that suggests that word understanding can have a direct bearing on attainment in science education. This paper presents findings of a study that was carried out in Malta where science is taught in English rather than Maltese. The aim of the study was to find out whether some of the frequently used non-technical and technical words in the specific register of Physics education are actually comprehended by students. The study focused on sixth form students of Physics and the results indicate that word understanding is a matter requiring attention even at this level of education.
