Jfs/cefrに基づくjfs日本語講座レベル認定試験(a1)の開発
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: The Japan Foundation overseas offices are expanding Japanese-language courses based on JF standards. In Europe, learners require certification based on CEFR, so 3 JF centers are developing a test (A1) for this purpose. We collected and analyzed test manuals and samples. We structured the test based on "Manual for Language Test Development and Examining" (ALTE 2011). Like other language tests, this test has 4 sections: Listening, Reading, Writing and Conversation. Topics, task difficulty levels, sentence patterns, vocabulary and use of Japanese characters are based on "Marugoto" according to JFS/CEFR. The results of the trials confirmed that this test level can be certified as A1 and that a Japanese-Language Test based on JFS/CEFR can be developed. However, there were some problems that need to be improved upon. For example, a listening test with written choices can be more difficult for Japanese than for other European languages because of the writing system.
