内容記述 | What language ability does TOEFL score represent? Can one speak and write well if he/she has a high score such as over 600 in TOEFL? This study examines two informants' productive skills of English with very similar TOEFL scores; 617 and 620. The T-unit analysis applied on the results of two elicitation tasks; story retelling and "Aluminum Passage" confirmed the existence of a considerable difference in their productive skills, especially in oral skill. In order to identify the cause responsible for the difference, detailed interviews were conducted. The examination of the relationship between their language skills and their learning strategies as well as learning environments led to the three conclusion; (1) TOEFL is good for measuring receptive skills but not necessarily for productive skills, (2) a strong motivation, whether instrumental or integrative, can work well in improving English ability, and (3) when motivation is high, contact with native speakers can play a decisive role in enhancing productive skills. | |||||||
