The Empirical Research on Wash-back Effect of Newly-reformed Questions Types of CET-4 Towards College English Teaching in Independent Colleges

反拨效应目前已成为语言测试和语言教学领域研究的热点问题。本文从2013年12月改革后大学英语四级考试新题型入手,通过对福建省某独立院校在校学生和英语教师进行问卷调查,了解其对大学英语四级考试新题型的理解和看法,分析了大学英语四级考试新题型对独立院校大学英语教学正负两个方面的反拨效应。研究表明,新题型对教学的正面反拨效应大于负面反拨效应。最后提出了提高其正面反拨效应的一些思考。

Wash-back effect has become the research focus of language testing and language teaching in recent years. The paper, with reference to the Newly-reformed Questions Types of CET-4 in December 2013, distributes questionnaires to college students and teachers in independent colleges in the hope of collecting information about their views on the Newly-reformed Questions Types of CET-4. Meanwhile, the paper analyzes its positive and negative backwash effects on college English teaching in independent schools. The research reveals that the positive wash-back effects outperform its negative ones. Finally, it comes up with some reflections about how to improve the positive backwash effects.
