AWL online tests
Dear students,
If you do not score 30 points in the test, try to take it again and again until you do. You should have an email receipt with your score after you submit the test. Use these receipts to edit your answers. Ultimately you should have nine homework emails all with maximum 30 point scores this semester. They will help you master the AWL words.

July 23rd lesson
Dear students,
1) Today you will hand in paper copies of your portfolio. Ideally they should be in a folder or stapled together. (If you have had some or all of your portfolio graded already, you do not need to hand the already graded ones in).
For homework, everyone must upload the three summaries and opinions of your portfolio to the spreadsheet via the portfolio upload form (see blog June 4th). The deadline to upload your digital portfolio is Sunday July 22nd.
Students who fail to upload their assignments will score a maximum of 6 points (out of 9) for each missing assignment.
2) Then you will have an AWL gap fill test.
3) After that I will check your five intensive reading exercises in the textbook.
Kind regards,
