论语言测试的反拨作用

On Washback in Language Testing

反拨作用在语言测试研究中占有极其重要的地位,但是目前国内对反拨作用的研究无论是在理论还是实证方面都还十分匮乏,尤其是缺乏一个反拨作用研究的理论模型。鉴于此,我们对反拨作用的概念层面、语言测试对教与学各方面的影响、促就反拨作用的各种因素进行了探讨,并在此基础上建立起反拨作用研究程序和综合理论模型。

Washback plays a crucial role in language testing, and yet there has been little theoretical or empirical study of it in our country. In view of this, this paper is intended to establish a rational procedure and a comprehensive model for the study of washback, on the basis of an in-depth analysis and discussion of dimensions of washback conceptualization, aspects of teaching and learning affected by a test, and factors mediating washback.
