全民英檢測驗：級數之間的差距

The Gap on GEPT︰What Lies in Between?

全民英檢（簡稱GEPT）為台灣英語能力檢定測驗，每年皆吸引成千上萬的受試者。根據LTTC（財團法人語言訓練測驗中心）2001-2004 的統計報告顯示，約百分之七十的人通過英檢初級測試，其中絕大多數是高中生。然而，大學生占最多數的中級測試中，僅有約百分之三十的人通過測驗。本研究的目的在研究，此兩級測驗中是否存在太大的差距。本研究以三十個學生為樣本，列出其英檢、多益和學校與英文相關學科的成績三者作比較分析。研究發現學生對於說和寫有學習的困難，另一方面，英檢初級與中級的差距相差太大以至於難以跨越。英檢初級和中級之間增加級數，可以更精確地測驗出學生的英語能力。

GEPT, a national English standard test in Taiwan, has drawn thousands of test-takers every year. According to the statistics by LTTC (The Language Training & Testing Center) from 2001 to 2004, most high-school students passed the Elementary Level while only around 30% of mostly university students succeeded in the Intermediate Level. The aim of this research is to examine if a long distance existing between the two levels. This study had 30 to serve as the subjects, whose GEPT, TOEIC scores and academic records were compared and analyzed. The result indicated that most subjects had more difficulties in English writing and speaking, and the gap between the two levels was significantly big and is worth further study. It is suggested that another level could be added in for reaching a more delicate and reliable test result.
