Abstract

Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation is currently developing National English Ability Test, funded by the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The objective of the test is to assess Korean students’ communication skills either in the area of practical English (The Level 3 test) or in basic academic English (The Level 2 test). The test is being developed and implemented as Internet-based test. The target examinees will be 3rd year high school students, who will need English test scores for college entrance. The rationale to introduce this new test in Korea is to improve students' communicative competence in speaking and writing since the current College Scholastic Ability Test measure only listening and speaking skills.
