It’s not if somebody isn’t good in academic language, he’s stupid. Pay attention to that fact if you are a teacher.
The vocabulary teachers use is most of the time very difficult for pupils (define, illustrate, compare, …). It’s important as a teacher that you teach those words. You can’t expect that if you never said: compare, that the pupils can compare on a test. Make exercises while using these words. Then it’s possible for the pupils to do the right thing, the thing you’ve asked because they will know the words then.
You can use these words during your lessons. Or you can make exercises with these words, so pupils understand the exercise.

You are absolutely right!
