Primary ideas like word recognition, the three-tier modelandword meanings are discussed toelaboratethe concept of self-paced assessmentandhow it should work in vocabulary instruction. The major implications of this study are in the designing and implementation of second language lessons where teachers should focus moreonproviding room for learners to direct their assessments. As for future researches, a sound methodology for experimentation is recommended to fully explore the feasibility of self-paced assessments in the ESL classroom.It is believed that self-paced formative assessment would enhance vocabulary mastery among ESL learners.
