Abstract

This study developed a new version of the "Simple Japanese Test," a low-stakes test that can be freely used and extended by researchers. The study verified its performance through preliminary implementation. The test includes vocabulary and grammar sections, and has four versions covering four years of university study. Reliability and validity were assessed using the answers of 113 preliminary survey respondents, which indicated overall promising results. Furthermore, the results for Kanji-speaking and non-Kanji-speaking participants were favorable. Therefore, this test is adequate for Japanese language educational research and promising for future use.
