Dont like tests, but guessing also important test strategy. Almost always incorporate this point&practice in test-taking classes. #eltchat |

I think if you look at L1 vs L2 strats not always a match or good carry-over into L2 #eltchat too many other preoccupations may block them? |

@EBEFL in L1 I guess from context. If I have time I sometms check a dictionary later. In L2 eventually get around to dictionary. #eltchat |
