After the results of Figure 4 are converted and counted according to the subject index items in Table 1 above, and subject A and subject B are further compared, the subject qualitative analysis results of Figure 5 can be obtained. Among them, it can be seen that the analysis results can show the English ability of subjects A and B in listening and reading with specific qualitative indicators. For example, subject A’s listening weakness lies in the inability to fully understand short sentences. , Is subject B a weakness in this indicator, and subjects A and B have difficulty in understanding stories supplemented by pictures in reading. Therefore, through this analysis, appropriate English learning suggestions can be drawn for students to further strengthen and improve.

Provide test papers to students of two different classes and different English teachers for testing, and then convert and count the test results of each subject according to the educator indicator items in Table 2 above, and compare the teaching of each teacher The difference in the values of the index items of the educators can get the results of the qualitative analysis of educators in Figure 6. Among them, it can be seen that the analysis results combine the test scores of the entire class with specific educator qualitative indicators to reflect whether the concepts of each English ability of the English teacher are successfully conveyed to the students during the teaching process. For example: Compared with the students in Class B in five years, the students in Class A in five years performed significantly poorer on the two indicators of "the relative position of objects: inside" and "can understand the terms used in sports games." The English teachers of the class can then ask the English teachers of Class B for five years to exchange ideas on how to improve the English teaching methods in this aspect, and then improve the students' performance.

Through the above description, the technical solution provided by the present invention has obvious advantages and effects compared with the prior art. The present invention converts and compares the test results of the subjects into qualitative analysis results exclusively for the subjects, rather than pure statistical results, so it can give the test students more effective English learning suggestions, and can also compare The conversion and comparison of the same English teacher’s class performance becomes the result of qualitative analysis exclusively for the teacher, and further gives the English teacher more effective and appropriate English teaching experience. Through such mutual improvement of teaching and learning, it is more able to Improve the effectiveness of English learning.
