摘要 作为英语概况的一部分，最近进行的研究确定了每个欧洲共同参考框架 (CEFR) 熟练程度所特有的语法标准特征。这些标准特征在不同第一语言背景的英语学习者中所证明的程度需要进行实证检验。在这项研究中，我研究了韩国 EFL 语料库中标准特征的使用。数据包括 3,243 名韩国大学生撰写的 6,486 篇论文，CEFR 水平为 A1 至 B2。我检查了与 A2、B1 和 B2 级别相关的 35 个标准特征如何在该语料库中得到证明。总体而言，尽管随着熟练程度的提高，这些功能的使用更加频繁和广泛，但这些功能的使用频率较低。我还发现功能的标准水平和学习者的熟练程度之间存在一些不一致。我讨论了第一语言、测试和任务类型以及评分对本研究结果的潜在影响。此外，我提出在当地评估环境中采用和应用已识别特征时，需要根据具体情况重新考虑其标准。
ABSTRACT Recent research conducted as part of the English Profile identified grammatical criterial features that are characteristic of each Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) proficiency level. The extent to which these criterial features attest in English learners of various first language backgrounds call for an empirical examination. In this study, I investigated the use of the criterial features drawing upon a Korean EFL corpus. Data consisted of 6,486 essays produced by 3,243 Korean college students from A1 to B2 CEFR proficiency levels. I examined how 35 criterial features which pertain to levels A2, B1, and B2 attested in this corpus. Overall, although more frequent and wide use of the features was observed as proficiency level advanced, the features occurred in low frequencies. I also found some misalignments between the criterial level of the features and learner proficiency. I discuss the potential influence of first language, test and task type, and rating on the findings of this study. Moreover, I raise the need to reconsider the criteriality of the identified features depending on the context when adopting and applying them in local assessment contexts.
