The University of Tokyo held an entrance examination supervision committee to establish a basic policy that does not require submission of private examination results for the English private examination introduction problem of the common test for university admission starting in 2020.Even if a certain level of English proficiency is required for application, if the high school from which the examinee is born recognizes that he / she has "equivalent English proficiency", it can be replaced by submitting a survey.The University of Tokyo's policy is likely to affect other national universities.
According to the University of Tokyo, the basic policy is to require examinees to have "A6" or higher, which is the second evaluation from the bottom of the six grades in the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), which is used as a measure of language proficiency as an application condition. , As a confirmation method
・ Submission of private English test results
・ Submission of a survey form that the high school recognizes as equivalent to A2 level or higher
・ Submission of documents explaining that grades and surveys cannot be submitted for some reason such as disability or illness
-Ask for.The application will not be accepted without one of the submissions, but after acceptance, the submitted documents will not be used as a basis for pass / fail judgment.
Private exams are introduced to measure the four skills of "reading," "listening," "speaking," and "writing" in English. Until 4, the policy is to use it together with the conventional mark sheet examination, and the National Center for University Entrance Examinations has certified TOEIC, Eiken, etc., but it is difficult for the University of Tokyo to compare the scores of different private examinations with the same standard. It is believed that fairness cannot be ensured because the opportunity to take the test depends on the area of residence.
In March, the University of Tokyo announced a policy not to use private examinations for pass / fail judgments, and then the policy was shaken, such as showing the direction of utilization the following month.However, in July, a working group on campus made a recommendation that non-use of the exam was the highest priority.
