Abstract: As globalization continues to progress all over the world, demand is growing for objective and rapid assessment of language proficiency in foreign language learners. While automated assessment of listening, reading, and writing skills has been proposed, little research has been done to automate assessment of speaking skills. In this paper, we propose a method of deciding the difficulty of questions generated for interview tests of skills assessment in speaking a foreign language. To address question difficulty flexibly according to the abilities of test takers, our method considers the appropriateness of responses from test takers. We implemented this method using the large-scale pre-trained language model BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers). Experiments were conducted using simulated test data from the Japanese Learner’s Conversation Database to confirm the effectiveness of our method in deciding difficulty.
