초록
This study investigates which of two tests—a college entrance exam or an English proficiency test—better places college freshmen into the courses appropriate for their levels. The participants are 2,474 freshmen, enrolled in a 4-year university in Seoul. Most students in the college English program, in which students were placed in courses according to their English subtest scores on the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), also took the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC). First, students who would have been placed into a lower-level course if the TOEIC scores had been used as a criterion for placement were identified. Later, discovering that a large portion of the students had been "misplaced", the lecturers of the college English program were interviewed about the levels of their students. The lecturers generally stated that the students should have been placed into a lower-level course. It is thus argued that TOEIC, the English proficiency test, would be a better measure for placement purposes. However, the results should be used with a caution because some lecturers did not find that the students with lower TOEIC scores were problematic in their classes.
