长期以来，留学对二语语用发展的影响一直是二语语用学研究的热点。然而，很少有测试工具存在，以评估语用学习在留国外，并提供有关学习者的发展，以帮助机构评估的成功留国外计划的信息。在这项研究中，我们描述了适应和验证的第二语言常规公式的测试，大规模使用的日本留学生。我们遵循基于参数的方法进行验证，评估前四个推论：领域描述，评估，泛化和解释。我们还调查了测试的实用性内的机构设置的预期用途。我们发现的证据支持使用的测试，提供信息的语用学习在国外逗留期间。该测试能够区分低能力和高能力的学习者，显示出足够的信度，并反映了在留在国外的语境中的语用学习的熟练程度和曝光的作用。该测试也是实用的，需要很少的资源。进一步的步骤，如外推和决策推理的调查，进行了讨论。
There has long been interest in the effect of stay abroad on pragmatic development in second language (L2) pragmatics research. However, few testing instruments exist to assess pragmatics learning in stay abroad and provide information about learners’ development to help institutions evaluate the success of stay abroad programs. In this study, we describe the adaptation and validation of test of second language routine formulae to be used large-scale with Japanese stay-abroad learners. We follow argument-based approach to validation, evaluating the first four inferences: Domain description, Evaluation, Generalization, and Explanation. We also investigate the test’s practicality within the institutional setting of intended use. We find evidence supporting the use of the test for providing information on pragmatics learning during stay abroad. The test can differentiate between low- and high-ability learners, shows adequate reliability, and reflects the roles of proficiency and exposure in pragmatics learning in stay abroad contexts. The test is also practical and requires few resources. Further steps, such as the investigation of the Extrapolation and Decision inference, are discussed.
