The University of Tokyo has decided to introduce a dedicated English proficiency certificate instead of a high school survey report in the common test for university admission starting in 2020.We have already stated that we do not require a private English exam, but if we ask the high school to describe our English proficiency, the high school will prepare a special survey that is different from other universities, which is expected to be confusing. To be done.

 According to the University of Tokyo, in the general entrance examination conducted in 2020, it is required to have the ability of "A6" or higher, which is the second from the bottom of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ​​(CEFR), which evaluates English proficiency on a 2-point scale as an application qualification. ing.
To prove this, to the examinees
・ Results of English private exam
・ Survey report of high school, etc.
・ Reason for not being able to submit the results of the English private exam or the high school survey
-I am requesting the submission of either.

 Of these, when we interviewed high school teachers about the submission of surveys from high schools, etc., we are at the stage where the surveys are being considered for changing the format based on the new course of study and for utilizing them for independence evaluation at universities. In addition, it was found that students taking exams at multiple universities would have to prepare a survey report exclusively for the University of Tokyo.

 As a result of the examination by the Entrance Examination Supervision Committee, in order to avoid confusion, we decided to request an English proficiency certificate in a separate sheet instead of describing it in the survey report for FY2020.We will continue to consider examples of reasons and confirmation documents, and will announce them as soon as they are decided.
