项目摘要

In this study major listening comprehension tests were examined in terms of questioning formats and contents. Listening comprehension test parts of the National Center Test, University of Tokyo, TOEIC and the College Scholastic Aptitude Test (CSAT) in Korea were compared and critically discussed. It was found that CSAT has carefully selected passages so that they can be the most suitable to examine if listeners can utilize a certain type of listening comprehension strategy such as dealing with numbers, grasping the topic of the utterance and so forth. In order to compare the results of TOEIC and CSAT, all parts of CSAT listening comprehension tests written in Korean, namely, directions, option phrases and sentences, were translated into Japanese so that Japanese EFL learners who had not learned Korean could take CSAT. Significantly high correlation was found between the TOEIC and CSAT scores (r=0.74 (p=0.000)). The TOEIC scores were observed to be more varied than those of CSAT obtained from the same listeners. This implies that TOEIC can distinguish learners' proficiency levels in more detailed ways. However, CSAT can provide more diagnostic information on which type of listening comprehension strategy each learner can make use of and which type he or she cannot. In this study how listening comprehension tests are produced and administered in Spain were also examined. Contrary to our expectation, teaching English in Spain is found to be still developing, and listening comprehension tests seem not to be as sophisticated as those developed in Korea.

本研究主要从提问形式和内容两个方面对听力理解测试进行了考察。对国家中心考试、东京大学、托业考试和韩国大学学术能力测试（CSAT）的听力理解部分进行了比较和批判性讨论。研究发现，CSAT 精心挑选了最适合的段落，以考察听者是否能够运用某种类型的听力理解策略，例如处理数字、掌握话语主题等。为了比较 TOEIC 和 CSAT 的成绩，用韩语编写的 CSAT 听力理解测试的所有部分，即方向、选项短语和句子，都被翻译成日语，以便没有学过韩语的日本 EFL 学习者可以参加 CSAT。 TOEIC 和 CSAT 分数之间存在显着的高度相关性 (r=0.74 (p=0.000))。据观察，TOEIC 分数比从相同听众处获得的 CSAT 分数差异更大。这意味着托业可以更详细地区分学习者的熟练程度。然而，CSAT 可以提供更多诊断信息，说明每个学习者可以使用哪种类型的听力理解策略，以及他或她不能使用哪种类型的听力理解策略。在这项研究中，还研究了西班牙听力理解测试的制作和管理方式。与我们的预期相反，西班牙的英语教学仍在发展中，听力理解测试似乎不像韩国那样复杂。
