摘要
This study was designed to investigate how college English teachers perceived the impact of College English Test Band 4(CET 4) on their curricular planning and instruction. Findings from this study indicate that CET 4 has an influential impact on teachers' curricular planning and instruction. However, this washback influence is quite superficial, that is, the washback may influence what they teach but not how they teach. The findings were expected to provide different levels of educational parties with information about how curriculum standards and examination objectives might be interpreted. More importantly, the findings should contribute to bridging the gaps between the educational parties and ultimately lead to an improvement of CET 4 design and college English education.
本次研究以大学英语教师为研究对象,调查他们对于大学英语四级考试对其教学产生的影响的看法,通过问卷及访谈手段收集数据资料,采用相关关系研究的方法处理数据。结果发现大学英语四级考试对于教学的确有重要影响,但这种影响是较为表层的,即影响的只是教师教什么而非如何教。本研究对有关反拨效应的研究提供了实证性的补充,对大学英语四级考试改革和大学英语的教学之间的关系作了进一步的探究。
