초록

Currently, there are approximately 10 Japanese language proficiency tests being conducted in Korea. There are age limits to those tests or conditions, such as accepting applicants from specific groups exclusively. However, most tests are open for all applicants. Amongst all others, the representative test is the annual JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) conducted by the Japan Foundation, which is the affiliate organization of the Japanese Foreign Ministry. The test was first given in 1984, and it has been given in Korea every year since 1985. Another test that is equivalent to the JLPT in its scale and number of applicants is the JPT (Japanese Proficiency Test). The most distinctive difference between the two is the evaluation process. The JLPT system divides the language proficiency level from level 1 to 4.
However, the JPT system measures the test takers’ ability on a scale ranging from 1 to 1000. The part and parcel of an evaluation is “reliability” and “validity.” Reliability can be obtained only if an identical result can be drawn regardless the time and place for a test and whosoever gives the test in whatever manner. Also “homogeneity”and “stability” of a test are the yardstick for reliability. In this study,the two core factors, reliability and validity, of the two major Japanese language proficiency tests conducted in Korea will be reviewed. Also “the stability”, “homogeneity” and “consistency” of the two tests will be examined.
