语言能力测试如何适应语言教学方式的发展

Adapt to New Perspective of Language Instruction with the Task-based Language Test

当前,语言教学观念和语言教学方式正在发生着深刻的变化,正在从"知识传授"转向"能力培养",从"教师主导"转向"学生自主",从"班级教学"转向"个性化教学"。为了适应语言教学观念的这些变化,应致力于开发新的基于任务的语言测验。为此,需要建立语言测试的评价标准,提供学习者"能做什么"的能力水平描述,并根据标准对测验分数作出解释。同时,还应运用规则空间模型、统一模型、融合模型等测量工具对语言测验进行认知诊断分析,并在此基础上向学习者、教师和家长提供描述性、诊断性的成绩报告。

Perspective of language instruction is changing from ＇knowledge learning＇ to ＇ communicative competence development＇ , from ＇ teacher centered＇ to ＇ learner centered＇ , and from ＇ class instruction＇ to ＇ individual learning＇. To adapt to the changes, we need to develop a new language test, namely task - based language test, and give standard referenced score interpretation and descriptive score report. At the same time, we should do more cognitive diagnostic research on language tests using rule space model, unified model and fusion model, and then provide the diagnostic score report to learners, teachers and parents.
