大学生英语口语应试与应用能力关系浅析

A Brief Analysis on the Relationship between the Spoken English Test-taking and Application Ability of University Students

本研究以117名大三学生为研究对象,通过能力测试将口语应用能力量化,与期末考试成绩进行皮尔逊相关系数检验,结果显示口语应试成绩与应用能力不相关。为探究其原因,利用主成分分析、因子分析等技术分析得出影响口语能力的主要因素是重视程度及努力程度,配合问卷调查、访谈等形式得出应试成绩与应用能力不相关的原因:当下教育环境中考试已"变味";口语课堂教学模式陈旧无实用性;学生缺乏语言环境、自身重视程度及努力程度低。

With 117 juniors as the research object, this research quantized spoken English application ability through ability test, and implemented the Pearson Correlation Coefficient test with fi-nal examination scores, indicating that the test-taking perfor-mance and application ability of spoken English are uncorrelated with each other. To explore the reasons, technical analyses such as principal component analysis and factor analysis were used to find the main factors that influence spoken English ability, which are the degree of attention and the level of effort. Complemented by questionnaire survey, interview and so on, the reasons why test-taking performance and application ability are unrelated were concluded：exams have lost its due functions in the current education environment; the classroom teaching model of spoken English is dated and unpractical; students lack language envi-ronment, and they pay little attention to spoken English and spend less energy on it.
