Description

<p>The National Center Test will include an English listening comprehension test in January 2006. In the exam, every examinee will individually operate an IC player and listen to English scripts via earphones. Prior to the implementation of the new test, three trial tests were held lbom 2002 to 2005. Of these tests, ‘pre-trial’ and ‘trial’ tests were conducted on high school students, and ‘Post-trial test’ was on university freshmen. This paper reports overview of the third test, ‘post-trial test’ including the results of the reading test and the listening comprehension test. In addition, effects of artificially-created aircraft noise were examined in terms of the examinees’ performance. Finally, we discuss the importance of the cooperation between fundamental and practical research, and the needs of the study on social influence upon the implementation of the high-stake test with new elements and formats.</p>
