2. Workbook Part 3
GOAL: To assess mastery of the Academic Word List
Assessment of AWL Vocabulary Acquisition
1. At the start, a pre-test is required for all 10 lessons. The post-test date is decided by the student at the
start. Failure to take the test as scheduled is a minus twenty (-20) points from the test score.
2. The student must master each AWL Sublist before proceeding to the next. Mastery means a grade of
100% on a 20-item in-class post-test of an AWL Sublist.
3. An in-class post-test can be re-taken until mastery is achieved. A student may take more than one test
during a week, but subject to Rules #1 and #2.
4. The last day for an In-class Post-Test is _____________________________; during which final marks are
issued as follows:
