The present study aimed to develop a prototype for applying the Nationwide English Listening Test for Secondary School Students for high school English classes. In order to serve the purpose of the research, a lesson plan was developed as an example of pedagogical use of the test by making a draft in collaboration with English teachers.
Subsequently, the content and structure of the draft went through an examination of English education experts for improvement and was modified by referring to their review. The following study should be well worth the effort to suggest possible improvements in order to activate the pedagogical use of the test in the classroom.
Firstly, it is necessary to develop and provide an online English teaching and learning support system to schools because the usefulness of the prototype can be maximized if students are allowed opportunities to ubiquitously prepare or review for English lessons on computers or digital devices. Secondly, it is also recommended to disseminate exemplary cases of utilizing the test for pedagogical purposes in school, for example, by holding English class demonstration contests or running model schools.
