基于SPSS分析的中国英语学习者口试模式偏好度研究

A Research on Chinese Learners' Preference Degrees in Oral English Exam Modes: Based on SPSS Software Analysis

通过调查问卷采集400名在校大学生对于三种英语口试模式的认知态度及其英语学习状态等数据,利用SPSS软件统计分析,结论如下:(1)学习者对于三种测试模式的总体偏好度依次为小组讨论(3.22/5)、人机对话(2.78/5)和考官考生对话(2.77/5);(2)对考试模式的偏好和受试自我英语能力评价有积极相关关系;(3)考量受试者专业背景这个动态变量,英语口试模式对于所有受试者是较公平的;(4)受试者的紧张度和偏好度呈显著相关,其紧张度则受到交流对象因素的影响;(5)学习者对曾经参加过的考试模式比较熟悉,因而会在偏好度上对该一种或多种模式有所倾斜。
