Outline of Final Research Achievements

With a focus on the TOEIC Speaking test (TOEIC S), this study explored correlations between TOEIC S and TOEIC Listening and Reading test (TOEIC L&R) scores, test-taker reactions to the TOEIC S compared to their reactions to the TOEIC L&R, the relationship between TOEIC S scores and levels of willingness to communicate (WTC), and relationships among TOEIC S and other test scores, including the Minimal English Test (MET), Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT), and Vocabulary Size Test (VST). The TOEIC S scores significantly correlated with the TOEIC L&R scores at .52, the WTC questionnaire at .39, the MET at .53, the VLT at .58, and the VST at .33 (all ps < .001). The questionnaire survey showed that the reactions of the participants toward the TOEIC S were generally positive.
