Abstract

Proficiency tests have been carried out twice a year for many years in Kanagawa Prefecture. An ad hoc committee prepares the tests based on the national curriculum, which is changed almost every ten years, taking their students' English abilities into consideration. The importance of practical communication skills has been emphasized in the current curriculum since 1994. This paper verifies whether the proficiency tests are reflective of the changes in the curriculum, and whether the students' English level has been transformed. The proficiency tests are divided into five sections: listening, grammar and vocabulary, discourse, composition, and reading comprehension. As for listening sections, some contents of questions proved to reflect the changes in the curriculum. In this paper, the grammar and vocabulary components are particularly focused on, and the influence of changes in the curriculum on the results of tests is verified.
