ELF背景下的语用能力评估新探

Assessing pragmatic competence in the context of ELF

本文首先对现有的语用能力思想及语用能力测试和评估进行了考察,然后结合英语国际通用语的语言环境对语用能力进行了重新界定并在此基础上,从语用能力测试的标准、内容、方法等角度重新审视英语通用语背景下的语用能力评估,旨在指出传统语用能力评估已不适应多元语境的需求,呼吁学界在新的语言背景下重新考察语用能力测试和评估,以促进新形势下的英语教学改革。

This paper first surveys the current perspectives on pragmatic competence and its assessment,summarizes its recent development,and then redefines it and reexamines its assessment in terms of assessment standards,contents and methods in ELF settings,aiming to reveal that the traditional pragmatic competence assessment can not meet the needs of global multi-dimensional context and to call for the rethinking of pragmatic competence assessment in the ELF context,thus promoting the reform of English teaching.
