English Teachers Perceptions on the Nationwide English Listening Test for Secondary School Students

The current research aimed to investigate how secondary English teachers perceive the Nationwide English Listening Test for Secondary Schools adopted by 16 metropolitan and provincial offices of education. This study was conducted by receiving online opinions from 4,653 teachers from sixteen metropolitan and provincial Offices of Education. The categories of questionnaire varied from administration to perspectives for improvement. The findings are as follows. Firstly, most teachers thought that the test items were easy and the speed of utterances was appropriate. Secondly, they responded that the test items should be developed in such a way that the test has new and more item types, and the test items should be more vividly differentiated in terms of difficulty. Furthermore, they suggested the development of the online listening test system where teachers can construct a test by using test items stored in the item bank of the system and administer a listening test in either an online or offline pen-and-pencil fashion.
