The purpose of this study was to build a foundation for Evidence-Based Policy Making (EBPM) by evaluating the effects of each educational policy on Global Test of English Communication (GTEC) scores, an English proficiency test, using data from university students. The study introduced two educational measures to improve the English proficiency of university students: implementing an English proficiency test score as a requirement for progression, and introducing an e-learning program, “Microstep Study,” which is based on the findings of implicit memory research that has been shown to enable efficient vocabulary acquisition in a short period of time using educational big data. The relationship between each educational measure and GTEC scores was examined through a multilevel analysis using data from 2,193 first-year university students who took the GTEC in April and December of the 2020 academic year, excluding missing values. The results indicated that establishing GTEC scores as a requirement for progression may have contributed to improvement in students’ English proficiency. Further, the introduction of Microstep Study may improve students’ vocabulary and, ultimately, their English proficiency.

In recent years, some reports have begun to show a significant relationship between the scores of English proficiency tests and the amount of time spent studying in e-learning（microstep study）developed by us. To date, no reports about e-learning exhibit a significant relationship with comprehensive English proficiency test performances. These results are due to a learning method based on the characteristics of implicit memory, which is the basis of language proficiency, and a new data collection technology（scheduling）that collects a large amount of longitudinal data with matching time conditions to achieve effective English vocabulary acquisition. This paper introduces the features of implicit memory, which is the foundation of linguistic ability, and a scheduling technology that takes these features into consideration to collect high-quality longitudinal data. Furthermore, by introducing a new test principle, we achieved the automation of formative evaluation, which supports knowledge acquisition. Finally, based on the background to the development of the ʻmicrostep study’, we consider what each researcher should do to advance DX in education.
