运用测试反拨原理优化大学英语教学评估体系

Establishment of Evaluation System of College English on the Basis of Washback Effects of Language Testing

语言测试对课堂教与学总是存在着不同程度的积极或消极影响,此即测试的反拨作用。构建教学评估体系,应充分借鉴测试相关理论,利用测试反拨效应的相关原理,并结合大学英语教学改革实践。

Language testing unavoidably has potential effects or washback, either positive or negative, upon classroom instruction and learning. The paper first studies relevant testing theories, then discusses, from the perspective of washback effects, how to improve the positive and minimize the negative effects of testing. The paper tentatively advances a scientific evaluation system under the system of college teaching reform.
