第二外語日語考科語彙表之研發與現況

The Research and Development of JLPT Vocabulary Lists

第二外語日語考科語彙表之內容包括「基礎語彙」與「進階語彙」，為「大學入學考試中心九十五學年度第二外語日語考科試題研發計畫」執行成果之一部分。本文除了報告語彙表的編製背景、現況之外，並對語彙的蒐集、篩選以及與其他語彙表之比對所呈現出的特性與意義加以描述。語彙表特性的掌握是透過具有「基本語彙」性格參考指標的《国立国語研究所報告117 教育基本語彙の基本的研究》（2001年，明治書院）與《国立国語研究所報告78 日本語教育のための基本語彙調查》（1984年，秀英出版）的比對結果。前者是以日本人為對象所編製的教育用基本語彙；後者則是為母語非日語之外國人日語教育所作的基本語彙表。經比對結果得知：目前所完成的第二外語日語考科語彙表與這兩份語彙表分別有88%、82%的重覆率，這代表著第二外語日語考科語彙表帶有極濃厚的「基本語彙」性格雖然目前所完成的第二外語日語考科的語彙表仍有許多值得檢討、改進之處，但其作成的本身為台灣的日語教育劃下了歷史性的里程碑，意義深遠。

The content of JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) Vocabulary List includes Basic Level Vocabularies and Advance Level Vocabularies. The Vocabulary List is part of the JLPT Test Content Specification. It is the result of 2005 Test Content Specification R&D project conducted by Japan Educational Exchanges and Services. The background and condition of the Vocabulary Lists will be described in the research report. Furthermore, the collection and evaluation of vocabularies in the Vocabulary Lists are conducted. The comparison between JLPT Vocabulary Lists and other published vocabulary lists is also completed. A detailed description of characteristic and significance of these efforts will be presented in the report. The key features of vocabulary are identified via a through study and comparison of two reports, The National Institute for Japanese Language Report 117 – “Study of Vocabulary List of Basic Japanese Vocabulary” (教育基本語彙の基本的研究 ) published by Meiji Shoin (明治書院 ) in 2001, and Report 78 – “A Study of Fundamental Vocabulary for Japanese Language Teaching” (国立国語研究所報告78 日本語教育のための基本語彙調查) published by Shuei Shuppan (秀英出版 ) in 1984. Report 117 is the basic vocabulary list designed for Japanese education, and Report 78 is the basic vocabulary list for foreigners learning Japanese as second language. After thorough study and explicit comparison, the results show that The JLPT Vocabulary List has 88% and 82% similarity with Report 117 and 78 Vocabulary Lists. The characteristic of “basic vocabulary” can be easily found in JLPT Vocabulary Lists. Although there are still lots of issues yet to be discussed and examined in JLPT Vocabulary Lists, it has shown its significance on the study of Japanese learning and instruction in Taiwan.
