Abstract
The NEȾOLṈEW̱ Language Learning Assessment Tool was developed in 2016 as part of the original NEȾOLṈEW̱ Research Partnership, which focused on the mentor-apprentice program. In the second phase of the NEȾOLṈEW̱ Assessment Project (2023-2025), we sought to understand how assessment tools can support language learning, how this tool has been used, and how it could be improved.
Description

The summary provides highlights and general recommendations of the AT report: looking at how the AT has been utilized in language work across different settings, what its strengths and challenges are, and how it could be updated to strengthen its role in adult language learning.
