| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of the research study was to develop and validate a system for rating (both objectively and subjectively) the difficulty of foreign language listening materials. Using an online system, students with various levels of English proficiency (as measured by the listening section of the TOEIC test) completed listening tasks and then rated the difficulty of the listening materials. Results were presented both domestically and internationally, and publications and future presentations are in process at the time of this report. It is expected that the findings of this research project will be useful to a number of people such as language educators, textbook authors, and other researchers.
