大学英语四级考试新题型对学习行为的反拨效应研究

A Study on the Washback of CET-4 New Format on Learning Behavior

2006年6月起大学英语四级考试采用了新题型,并采用了710分的报分制度。这些措施对大学英语学习者的学习行为是否产生了反拨效应？产生了何种反拨效应？本研究通过调查发现多数大学英语学习者认为其反拨效应确实存在并且是正面的,但是听力测试的反拨作用较弱。另外,学习者对CET-4的措施了解不够,学习策略的应用失当,这在一定程度上影响了其正面反拨效应的发挥。

Since June 2006, the College English Test Band 4 has adopted new formats and the 710 scoring system. Have the new measures exercised any washback on College English Learners＇ learning behavior？ What kind of washback is it？ This research found out that most students believe there exists positive washback on the learning behavior, though the washback seems to be weak on listening study. Also, the poor knowledge of the CET-4 new format and inappropriate use of learning strategies hinder the understanding of the test and setbacks the play of the positive washback of the test.
