Purpose; English, an internationally recognized language, is often used as a Lingua Franca for dealing with the business environment of each country or international affairs. In addition, police officers in each country are increasingly using English to carry out civil affairs and crime-related tasks related to foreigners. As the number of foreigners visiting or residing in Korea gradually increases, police officers are increasingly required to use English in their daily working environment. Due to the nature of the work, the police require high professional ethics and professionalism. For this reason, careful and strict standards and procedures are required for recruiting police officers. This study aims to examine the supplementary point of the situation in which the TOEIC test, the new standard for the adoption of the written test for police recruitment, is used as a universal indicator of the recruitment standard for police officers. It is necessary to examine whether the TOEIC test developed to evaluate English proficiency used in a general everyday business situation is appropriate as a test necessary to recruit talented persons in the police work environment, which has some special purpose. There seems to be a need to discuss a test configuration that can develop into a test that examines the complementary points of the deficiency and devises an alternative that has a role as a better police officer recruitment test, thereby verifying the ability as a potential police officer. This can be seen as a preliminary step to apply the intrinsic characteristics of special-purpose English to universal employment tests. To this end, it can be said to be a necessary discussion to develop a variety of learning curriculum and develop a pinpoint learning strategy to develop a police officer exam with reliability and validity. Therefore, this study intends to suggest ways to improve the English test item designs conducted in the recruitment process of police officers.
Abstract
Purpose; English, an internationally recognized language, is often used as a Lingua Franca for dealing with the business environment of each country or international affairs. In addition, police officers in each country are increasingly using English to carry out civil affairs and crime-related tasks related to foreigners. As the number of foreigners visiting or residing in Korea gradually increases, police officers are increasingly required to use English in their daily working environment. Due to the nature of the work, the police require high professional ethics and professionalism. For this reason, careful and strict standards and procedures are required for recruiting police officers. This study aims to examine the supplementary point of the situation in which the TOEIC test, the new standard for the adoption of the written test for police recruitment, is used as a universal indicator of the recruitment standard for police officers. It is necessary to examine whether the TOEIC test developed to evaluate English proficiency used in a general everyday business situation is appropriate as a test necessary to recruit talented persons in the police work environment, which has some special purpose. There seems to be a need to discuss a test configuration that can develop into a test that examines the complementary points of the deficiency and devises an alternative that has a role as a better police officer recruitment test, thereby verifying the ability as a potential police officer. This can be seen as a preliminary step to apply the intrinsic characteristics of special-purpose English to universal employment tests. To this end, it can be said to be a necessary discussion to develop a variety of learning curriculum and develop a pinpoint learning strategy to develop a police officer exam with reliability and validity. Therefore, this study intends to suggest ways to improve the English test item designs conducted in the recruitment process of police officers.
