项目摘要

In the first year of the project (2003), we designed a speedy and easy-to-administer test for assessing the English vocabulary level of Japanese Learners of English. The test is intended to measure not only learner's receptive skills but also their productive skills. Learners are required to fill in the blanks by choosing the most appropriate alternatives given below each question. Five thousand of the most-frequently-used English vocabulary have been grouped into five levels (Level I : 1〜1,000, Level II : 1,001〜2,000,・・・Level V : 4,001〜5,000) based on well-known authoritative word lists. Twenty items were selected for each level. If a student scores 80% or better at a particular level, the student is considered to be at or above that level. The test was piloted extensively in the printed form in other institutions as well as Hiroshima University. The data obtained in the pilot tests showed that the test was, on the whole, functional.In the second year (2004), we made a further experimental implementation, got more data, and improved it. The researchers also designed and published an idiom test for Japanese learners of English. The test is based on idioms which appear frequently in Japanese senior high school textbooks. It allows learners to set a goal of improving their knowledge of idioms and helps teachers devise systematic syllabi.Both of the tests were then put online and utilized as automatic self-evaluation tests free-to-all on the Internet. Learners can get their scores immediately after they have completed the tests. They are now available at learner's convenience and enjoy frequent access by faculty staff as well as students. The site is indeed useful as it promotes learner's independent study, freeing them from their school timetables.To see the finished products, go to :http://flare.media.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/http://flare.media.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/english/voctest_a.htmlhttp://flare.media.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/english/idiomtest_a.html

在该项目的第一年（2003年），我们设计了一个快速和易于管理的测试来评估日本英语学习者的英语词汇水平。该测试不仅旨在测量学习者的接受技能，而且还测量他们的产出技能。学生必须在每道题下面选择最合适的选项来填空。5,000个最常用的英语词汇被分为五个级别（第一级：1 - 1,000，第二级：1,001 - 2,000，···第五级：4,001 - 5,000）。每个级别选择20个项目。如果一个学生在某个级别的得分为80%或更高，则该学生被认为处于或高于该级别。该测试在其他机构以及广岛大学以印刷形式广泛试行。第二年（2004年），我们又进行了进一步的实验，获得了更多的数据，并对该测试进行了改进，同时设计并出版了一个针对日本英语学习者的习语测试。该测试以日本高中教科书中经常出现的成语为基础。它使学习者能够设定提高成语知识的目标，并帮助教师设计系统的教学大纲，然后将这两个测试放在网上，并作为自动自我评估测试在互联网上免费提供给所有人。学习者可以在完成测试后立即获得分数。他们现在可在学习者的方便，并享受教职员工以及学生经常访问。该网站确实很有用，因为它促进了学习者的独立学习，使他们从学校的时间表中解放出来。http://flare.media.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/http://flare.media.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/english/voctest_a.htmlhttp://flare.media.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/english/idiomtest_a.html
