Due to the postponement of the introduction of the English private exam into the common test for university admission, the National Center for University Entrance Examinations has two skills of "reading" and "listening" while keeping the policy shown in June 2019 for the English test for the common test for university admission. It was clarified that the question to be measured will be given by the mark sheet method.The score is the same for reading and listening with 6 points each.
According to the National Center for University Entrance Examinations, the policy shown in June asks questions about pronunciation, accents, word order, etc. on the premise of introducing a private test that measures the four skills of "reading," "listening," "speaking," and "writing." The score was not given in the common admission test, and the score was changed from 6 points for writing and 4 points for listening to 200 points each for reading and listening in the center test.
Even if the English private exam is postponed, the decision will be made according to the policy of June, and there will be no problems such as pronunciation or accent.The reason for this is that the National Center for University Entrance Examinations has a policy based on the high school curriculum guidelines, in line with the purpose of improving English education with the start of the common test for university admissions.
However, it seems that it is difficult to evaluate skills such as "speaking" in the common test for university admission of 50 people, and it is difficult to proceed with the change of questions from now on.
After Koichi Hagiuda, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced that the introduction of the English private examination was postponed, the National Center for University Entrance Examinations was considering immediate measures.
