In order to measure current levels of oral proficiency and teaching skills of elementary schools teachers, a listening test and an interview test in English were developed. The listening test consisted of question sadapted from a listening section of the EIKEN test grade 3 (Obunsha,2007). The interview test consisted of two parts: the first part tested oral skills, especially speaking skills; and the second part tested teaching skills. Sevenin-service elementary school teachers took the pilot tests in fall, 2008. To sum up the results of the pilot tests, the participants tended to achieve high levels in the listening and conversation sections while they tended to vary in their skills in answering questions on a paragraph, and teaching English. Based on the results and analysis of the pilot tests, a revised version will be developed for the second pilot tests., application/pdf}, pages = {1--13}, title = {Results of Pilot Tests that Measure Competencies of English Teachers in Japanese Elementary Schools}, year = {2010}, yomi = {マツナガ, マイ} }
