| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The group oral test for measuring “global citizens’ conversation skills” was developed as an objective test which is able to evaluate three examinees simultaneously in a short time by a human and machine raters. However, because the current speech recognition systems still have technical problems and their conversion from voice data to character data lacks accuracy, several problems remained for their practical use. Under the limited condition, the pilot tests were conducted by three evaluation standards, a human rater with holistic scale, the number of words spoken by each participant (TNW) and conversation balance. In spite of insufficient data, the results indicated only a low coefficient correlation between conversation balance and total score. In addition, as ripple effects of the test, the students’ questionnaire results revealed that examinees tended to practice more in order not to be afraid of mistakes and to increase TNW for higher scores.
