大学生英语语言应用能力形成性评估的检测方法

A Formative Assessment System to Detect College Students English Language Competence

采用科学的方法,加强对学生在学习过程中语言应用能力发展情况的检测,是大学英语形成性评价的重要内容及发展方向之一,也是大学英语教学改革的重要课题。我们在"大学英语形成性评价"软件中,采用了语言测试学的方法,建立"学校常模"作为"尺度—常模参照标准",研究分析学生在"常模"中的位置,对学生或团体进行自身的纵向比较及各项语言应用能力之间的横向比较,实现了对学生学习过程中语言应用能力发展情况的检测。

Using scientific methods to strengthen the detection of the development of college students English language competence is not only one of the important contents and trend of college English formative assessment, but also one of the significant tasks of the College English teaching reform. In this College English Formative Assessment System, by applying language testing theories, we set up ＂school norm＂ as scale-norm-referenced standards to analyze each student＇ s position in the ＂norm＂ and successfully detecting the development of his language competence by comparing with his own movement in the learning process and with the acquisition of each individual language skills.
