Students at five National Colleges of Technology in Shikoku region took an English language proficiency test called A.C.E. (Assessment of Communicative English) conducted by ELPA on January 11th, 2005. Although students at Takamatsu College of Technology scored higher in the listening section compared to high school students of the same age, the test results gathered at this college suggest that the students lack vocabulary knowledge. With regard to reading ability, students at this college tend to have defects in what we would like to call static sentences, while they are quite strong in dynamic sentences. In other words, they are quite capable of dealing with the idiomatic expressions and rapid reading in colloquial English, whereas they have defects in reading descriptive writings and vocabulary knowledge. While the test results have shown that the English language instruction of our college under the current curriculum, which focuses on acquiring practical English expressions, is fairly effective, we might be able to enhance the students' proficiency in English by reinforcing their reading ability and vocabulary knowledge of static sentences.
