TESL-EJ , February 2017 Isbell 1 The Electronic Journal for English as a Second Language February 2017 Volume 20, Number 4 An Academic Definitions Test Daniel Richard Isbell Michigan State University, USA Abstract L2 vocabulary is commonly conceptualized in terms of a size or depth of one s total lexical knowledge and tested discretely with selection-type items. Concerns exist, however, regarding L2 users ability to cope with unknown vocabulary, especially in the context of Academic reading . This motivated the creation of a test which measures the ability to identify Definitions for unknown terms in an Academic text. The test comprised a 768-word introductory biology textbook excerpt with non-words replacing ten technical terms, and test takers were asked to write Definitions for each term. The test was piloted with 158 prospective university students of varying L2 English proficiency.
