关于合理运用各类语言测试模式的分析与思考

On Making Rational Use of Language Testing Models

通过比较前科学语言测试、心理测量学—结构主义语言测试、心理语言学—社会语言学测试、交际语言测试和基于任务的语言测试的优缺点,提出了在英语教学中应以提高学生语言能力为中心,合理使用不同的测试模式,注重利用它们对语言学习的良好反拨作用,以起到测试手段的“指挥棒”作用。

This paper elaborates the merits and demerits of five theoretical models of language testing in terms of their respective validity and reliability. Then it proposes that language teachers should adopt different testing models to motivate the students, thus bringing about a good washback effect on their language learning.
