undefined method `fetch_value' for nil:NilClass - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm using a words_import class/controller to allow me to validate my words as I import them from a csv file or excel spreadsheet. Unfortunately I'm receiving an error:
undefined method 'fetch_value' for nil:NilClass
When I attempt to load the words_import#new page. Please help if you can!
