tests
When studying a language motivation is sometimes lacking in the absence of targets in the short or medium term. I propose in this paper to review the various aptitude tests existing in Japanese.
The JLPT
A number of you have probably already heard about the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) or Noryoku Nihongo Shiken in Japanese. This test is
divided into four levels with level 1 being the highest level. It includes 4 games (kanji, listening, reading comprehension, grammar) and comes in the form of a quiz. One can find about it regrettable that there is not a party drafting or an oral interview.
Many books to help prepare for the exam are on the market, but they are however very expensive in France (library Junku-d). Try to find time to book off. Wikipedia provides more details on this test. Know
for information that is unfortunately possible to pass this test that once a year and only in Paris. Note that recently it is now possible to go to Japan several times a year.
The Business Japanese Proficiency Test (or BJT)
There are then in a book a little different: the Business Japanese Proficiency Test (BJT), a test is more for people who want to integrate business in Japan. This will require a good command of keigo , the language of politeness and knowledge of Japanese vocabulary of business. (Economic terms ...). Unlike the JLPT there is no threshold below which the candidate fails but simply different levels depending on the score.
In addition to the first part consists of written and oral tests, there is also a second part (it will move to Japan) for candidates who have reached a number of specific points. It consists of an oral interview of 30 min. For more information visit this site http://www.jetro.go.jp/france/missions/test/
The last session took place June 22, 2008 at the examination of INALCO . Furthermore, it should be noted that this test is only valid for a period of two years after graduation.
The Nihon Kanji Kentei Shiken Noryoku (more commonly called Kanken)
The Kanji Kentei it is a test of the Japanese kanji for very popular on the islands. However, it is also available to foreigners wishing to rub shoulders with the kanji. It is divided into 12 levels, the easiest level, level 10 will ask the knowledge of 80 when the level 1 kanji require you know the tune of 6,000 kanji. There is therefore something for everyone! It seems that it is possible to pass this test to Lille every two years but this is not the official site and remains to be verified. You can find more information on this site http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanken
What is the use of this test you will say. A little in fact, if not to punish a level of kanji at some point in his studies. Other tests such as those mentioned above you will probably be more useful for your career. But I think reaching level 2 of this test may be beautiful face with an employer but it will be many other ways to check your level of Japanese anyway.
