英検 ２・準２級 英英単語

「英検 ２・準２級 英英単語」の電子書籍を出版したので紹介させていただきます。

英検2級と準2級の違いは、主に英語力のレベルと試験内容にあります。

レベルの違い

• 英検2級: 高校卒業程度の英語力が求められます。社会的な話題についての理解や意見を述べる能力が必要です。

• 英検準2級: 高校中級程度の英語力が必要で、日常生活で使われる英語を理解し、使用できることが求められます。

試験内容の違い

• 語彙数: 2級では約5,100語、準2級では約3,600語の語彙力が求められます。

• 試験形式:

  • リーディング: 2級はより長文で複雑な内容、準2級は比較的短く日常的なトピック。

  • ライティング: 2級ではより高度な議論や意見を求められる一方、準2級は基本的な意見表現が中心です。

  • リスニングとスピーキング: 両方とも会話や状況理解を含みますが、2級はより複雑な状況設定がされます。

合格率

• 一般的に、準2級の合格率は約35%で、2級はそれよりも低くなる傾向があります。

これらの違いにより、英検2級はより高いレベルの英語力を証明する資格として位置づけられています。
