On the Rubrics of Japanese High School Entrance Examinations for JSL Students

由于外国人临时或永久移民日本，外国学生的数量急剧增加，新移民在参加高中入学考试（以下简称HSEE）方面遇到了严重困难：虽然日本学生通过HSEE的比例达到97%，但外国学生的比例仍在53%左右。针对这一情况，本课题从以下三个方面对高中英语核心词汇及其特点进行了研究：英语，科学，这些科目的方向样本是从2002年日本所有县高中考试中提取的。至于英语部分，测试中，我们通过定性和定量分析得出了关键词/表达。后者是为了加强前者的结果，通过使用计算机软件“Chasen”进行。以理科和数学考试为例，运用“沙漏型神经网络”对高考中的常用词汇进行了分析。“未来的研究方向是进一步讨论如何为外国学生最好地利用这些关键标记/表达。

As the number of foreign students dramatically increases due to temporal or permanent immigration of foreign residents in Japan, there rises a critical problem that the new comers have serious difficulty in taking high school entrance examinations (hereafter HSEE) : while the percentage of Japanese students who can pass the HSEE reaches 97%, that of foreign students remains around 53%. In such a situation, it should be necessary to take proper measures not only in the field of testing administration, but also in teaching practice.This project, for the students above, has tried to grasp core words/expressions and characteristics of rubrics in HSEE in the following three subjects : English, science, and math. Samples of directions in these subjects were extracted from all Japanese prefectural high school exams for 2002.As for the portion of English testing, we yielded key words/expressions through both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The latter was, for the purpose of enhancing the former results, conducted by the use of computer software, "Chasen". Turning to the cases of science and math testing, the frequently-used words/expressions in entrance exams were analyzed with the basis of "Sandglass-Type Neural Network." The future research direction is to further discuss how these key tokens/expressions can be best utilized for foreign students.
