Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of a Chinese paired speaking test. Data was collected from the students who learn Chinese language in Japanese Universities. Examinees took two types of speaking test- an interview test, and a paired speaking test. Comparative studies were conducted on the speech sample and test scores. Different proficiency levels examinees were found to perform differently across test types on their speech sample. Regarding test score, t-test results indicated that performance levels on fluency and communication skills in these two tests could be considered to be different. These findings have practical implications for future test design and the use of paired discussions as a speaking test format. Since the test is designed to simulate pair/group discussions that students might have in the classroom and real world, the paired speaking test has the potential of positive wash back for communicative classrooms.
