Where to find the AWL Highlighter

Probably the most useful thing is a journal that you need to read for your research.

But a popular science journal is OK, too.

What text to use

This week’s assignment

1. Find a suitable source (journal, magazine)

2. Use the AWL Highlighter to investigate

the Level 1 words that interest you.

3. Make a collection of examples with notes,

translations, etc.

Things to remember

1. These are your unique notes. Always think about

what is useful to YOU.2. The aim of your notes

should be to help you understand AWL words

deeply, i.e. be able to USE the words one day.
