概要

論文の詳細を見る
Idioms and collocations are a central, living part of any language. It is important to learn basic idioms and collocations because they keep appearing all the time, and because people often recall and process language in multi-word chunks. Fixed expressions always present difficulties or challenges especially if they cannot be translated word for word. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new test which has been made especially for Japanese learners of English and is designed to measure their mastery of the basic idioms. The idioms in the test were chosen because they appear frequently in textbooks used in Japanese senior high schools. With the existence of this test, students can set a goal of improving their knowledge of idioms, and teachers can devise systematic syllabi.
