3. Communicate with the learner by saying, 'I’m going to say a word and ask you to tell me what it means.' Then, begin with the first word from the chosen level.
4. Record the learner's response in the space provided next to each word. If they misunderstand the word, state the word again and prompt them for the meaning.
5. Use the prompt 'Tell me more' if unsure about the learner's understanding. Avoid other prompts to maintain consistency.
6. Determine whether to advance or decrease the level based on the number of correct responses. A learner must provide at least four correct meanings to proceed to the next level.
7. Once testing is complete, calculate the learner's score based on the highest level at which they achieved four or more correct responses.
