The thing I think needs to be written,...Ian, Johan<br /><br />The thing I think needs to be written, and by somebody with more Japanese study experience than myself, is an analysis of how the new tests compare to the old ones.<br /><br />There seems to be less emphasis on reading etc. now, which will benefit foreigners from countries not versed in kanji etc., but I don't know whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.<br /><br />Ian, thank you, you spotted a typo. Will fix that now.rjsmarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12309528896519128228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867753137321045134.post-28153578045862218722010-03-15T01:39:15.436+09:002010-03-15T01:39:15.436+09:00Useful info, thanks.Useful info, thanks.Johan Larsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6867753137321045134.post-89140544509557041362010-03-12T02:15:05.272+09:002010-03-12T02:15:05.272+09:00(Hey there, Ian from the JT here via Facebook)
No...(Hey there, Ian from the JT here via Facebook)<br /><br />Not taking any of these tests myself, but these questions look very similar to the sort of stuff we inflict on Japanese students in TOEIC and TOEFL. On thing though: why is the answer to Listening part 3 (B)? She clearly states she's voting for (C), and she holds (B) and (D) on the same level of preference.dotdashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270663921267987965noreply@blogger.com
