As you see the examples below, you are given a situation and need to answer the questions in the JFT-Basic. The IRODORI books have the similar situation and the Can-do (the goal for each lesson).
Ex. 1: A sample question in the “Listening comprehension” section of the JFT-Basic (Left) and a similar situation in the IRODORI book (Right).
The students who have used the IRODORI book can imagine the situation and guess what they are going to talk.
Ex. 2: A sample question in the “Reading comprehension” section of the JFT-Basic (Upper) and a similar situation in the IRODORI book (Bottom).
The students who have used the IRODORI book can imagine the situation and guess what they are going to talk.
Also, the JFT-Basic is conducted through Computer-Based Testing (CBT). In test booths, test-takers answer on the computer screen based on questions displayed on the screen and audio played through the headphones. It is necessary for the test-takers to have got used to the test style by using the computer. The IRODORI Online Course would be very helpful for the preparation before taking the JFT-Basic.
