新、旧大学英语四级听力测试比较研究

论文摘要

作为中国国内大规模标准化的英语语言测试,目的是衡量非英语专业学生的英语语言功能的大学英语四级,已有着很大的影响力。然而,随着语言测试的发展,旧四级的弊端——不能有效地测出学生的实际交际能力,尤其是听、说方面的交际能力,也不断地暴露出来,四级也从而进行了改革。由于听力作为常用的语言技巧,在日常生活和教育过程中起着极其重要的作用,在本文中,作者以CET-4中的听力理解部分为切入点,对目前的四级听力改革进行分析研究。文中作者首先理论性评论了语言教学与测试和听力理解测试中的要略,尤其是交际性听力测试,其典型的例子就是英国的雅思考试。接着,为了提高了此项研究的信度和效度,文中使用了定量与定性研究分析方法。前者是对参加实验的考生在2002年6月的旧四级,2006年6月的新四级和雅思三份试卷的听力试题的表现结果进行比较分析;作者在考试之后还进行了问卷调查和对5位教师的访谈,通过调查获得了对于目前听力改革和以后四级听力改革的有用的间接数据。这些研究帮助作者得出结论:新四级的听力测试在效度方面更加接近于雅思,也就是说更加接近于交际听力测试,即能够更好地反映出学生的交际语言能力,对大学英语教学和测试起到更为积极的反拨作用。尽管在本文的研究中还存在着不足之处,但作者由衷的希望这些结论和建议能对新四级听力改革有所帮助,并且能够促进学生的语言交际能力的提高,从而推动中国大学英语教学的发展。
