A Study on the Trend Analysis of Chinese I Questions in the National College entrance exam: Focusing on communication skills questions from 2013 to 2022

Abstract

As is well known, the absolute evaluation of the Chinese SAT test from 2022 requires adjusting the difficulty of the existing CSAT test. On the other hand, the number of examinees participating in the Chinese test of the CSAT every year is on the decline. Now, as a Chinese teacher, it is necessary to consider the alternatives in various ways as to how to overcome and cope with changes and crisis factors in the external environment for the Chinese test. In addition, in order for “evaluation,” which determines teaching and learning, to meet the final goal of Chinese language education, “improving Chinese communication skills,” it is necessary to closely review and review the questions on the Chinese test. This paper will focus on the following research questions to explore the tendency of the questions that measure the “communication function” of the CSAT Chinese test for 10 years from 2013 to 2022. : (1) What are the high frequency Chinese words used in the communication function question for 10 years? ; (2) What are the ‘communication functions’ and ‘communication situations’ that are mainly dealt with in the communication function questions, and what are the characteristics of these functions compared to the ‘communication function items’ presented in the ‘Chinese Language Curriculum’? ; (3) Based on the above analysis results, what is the plan to improve the question of communication function under the absolute evaluation method?
