新型评价方式应用于大学英语口试的研究

A Study of Applying New Forms of Assessment to the Oral Test of College English

大学英语口语测试已经成为期末测试的一个重要组成部分。但是,由于考试设施、考官、评分者、时间等一些客观因素的限制,英语教师倾向于使用简单的考试方法和评价方式来进行测试,造成了测试结果的信度不高,导致大学英语期末口语测试往往很难发挥其功效。测试形式和评价方式上的多样化可以让口语测试更科学,也可以对学习者的口语能力真正起促进作用。通过口语成绩和笔试成绩的相关分析,以及测后对考生的问卷调查,找出了信度较高的口语测试形式。
