다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The revised Test of Proficiency in Korean II (TOPIK) aims to provide more direct evaluation of the examinees. However, it was found not to fully take into account the evaluation criteria that reflect characteristics of different questions. Based on the belief that the evaluation criteria applied to Question 53 `Explain a visual material` in the writing section of TOPIK II was almost identical to that of Question 54 `Composition` and that such similarity between the two questions is inappropriate, this study aimed to set a direction for establishing evaluation criteria by taking into account characteristics of the question. For the study, in Chapter 2, characteristics of Question 51 to Question 54, which comprise the writing section, were compared in terms of `question type, intent, given text and material, and response length.` Question 53 involves a process in which the examinees interpret a graph and graphic organizer, which are visual materials, and explain them in writing. In the process, the steps `understanding visual materials` and `organizing visual materials into contents,` which are related to cognitive ability of the examinee. Chapter 3 examined whether the evaluation criteria of Question 53 `Explain a visual material` reflect the skills used for interpreting visual materials. The result showed that Question 53 did not take into account the characteristics of the question. In Chapter 4, based on importance of verbalizing non-verbalized visual materials in writing the response to Question 53, it was proposed that elements related to the step `Understanding visual materials` be reflected in evaluation criteria of `content and task performance.` As elements that can be included as evaluation criteria, the study proposed, first, accuracy in description of the visual material, because it is important to correctly understand the meaning of the visual materials; and, second, inclusion of important information from the visual materials, because it is important to figure out the core information of the visual materials.
