Romanized Taiwanese literacy as a learning outcome has been part of the Domain of Language Arts-Native Languages (Minnan) in the Curriculum Guidelines of 12-Year Basic Education. Yet evaluation of this kind of literacy is absent in not only the Taiwanese (Minnan) Proficiency Test but also in local onsite education. The study aims to develop a computer generated multiple choice test on the basis of an online dictionary database and language pool to facilitate manual test structuring. The Rasch model was utilized to evaluate the difficulty of items. Multiple regression was used to evaluate the influence of the features of items on item difficulty. Results revealed that two positive indicators, including 1) the amount of Taiwanese exclusive phrases in items, and 2) the amount of tonal discrepancy between correct answer and distractors have significant influence on item difficulty. With the above mentioned findings, this paper provides suggestions for the proficiency level-based difficulty parameters of the Taiwanese (Minnan) Proficiency Test of the Ministry of Education. |
