Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated the evaluation of extensive reading. The Edinburgh Project on Extensive Reading Placement/Progress Test (EPER PPT, developed by the Edinburgh Project on Extensive Reading to measure progress in extensive reading), was examined in terms of three criteria for language tests: reliability, validity, and practicality. The results showed that the EPER PPT scores had concurrent validity and high reliability. However, the EPER PPT was found to contain some unsuitable items that could not adequately distinguish between test-takers’ abilities. The reliability of the EPER PPT remained high when these unsuitable items were deleted. In addition, the results of a questionnaire on extensive reading evaluation showed that extensive reading practitioners employed multiple evaluation methods and that they expected external evaluation tools to reflect certain attributes including practicality.
