(Автор и год не указаны).Vocabulary/Knowledge rating is a before reading or learning strategy designed to evaluate students’ prior or background knowledge of vocabualry or a topic or concept. Students are given a list of words related to the topic or concept and rate how well they know each term. Rating scales can help students to actively look at and be aware of new vocabulary and also help activate prior knowledge. By identifying terms students do not know well the teacher will be better able to prepare students for reading, viewing, listening and discussing the new topic or text.
