对英语口语测试真实性的多维分析

Multidimensional Analysis of Authenticity in English Oral Testing

英语口语测试中的真实性一直是个颇具争议的概念。英语口语测试过程的真实性具有四个维度,即测试任务和测试情景的真实性、受试者与测试任务之间互动的真实性、受试者之间互动的真实性、评价标准及实施过程的真实性。对此进行探究发现,英语口语测试的真实性是一个主观的和相对的概念。

Authenticity in language testing has always been a controversial concept. This paper attempts to explore authenticity in a multidimensional view, including the authenticity of testing task, complementation of task, interlocutors and evaluation and application. Thus it suggests that authenticity is a subjective and relative concept.
