AB - The current study aims to investigate English listening texts of the National Assessment of Educational Achievement (NAEA) at word, sentence, and text levels. It classifies NAEA listening texts into two school levels (middle school and high school) and two forms of spoken language (dialogues and monologues). It is necessary to examine changes of linguistic aspects in the NAEA for both middle and high school students to figure out whether text difficulty systematically rises as school level increases. The corpus for this study includes 169 listening texts from five academic years from 2015 to 2019. In this period, tests were implemented as paper-based tests. Two research questions are about linguistic differences of NAEA listening texts between middle school and high school and between dialogues and monologues at word, sentence and text levels. Coh-Metrix analyzed descriptive measures related to words, lexical diversity, and word information for wordlevel analysis, descriptive measures related to sentences and syntactic complexity for sentence-level analysis, and readability and referential cohesion for text-level analysis.
Results and educational implications could increase the quality of NAEA listening texts.
