国内近十年英语笔译测试研究述评

A review of the research on English translation test in China in the past tenyears

文章从研究方法、研究对象、研究内容等方面综述了近十年国内英语笔译测试的主要研究,研究发现,国内近十年来笔译测试研究取得了长足的发展:(1)实证性研究与非材料性研究齐头并进,其中,实证性研究的比例占多数并呈上升趋势,尤其是在研究测试效度方面;(2)研究逐步从理论、方法论研究向应用、反拨作用等领域发展,且更具规范化、系统化。更注重测试的实践以及对教学的反拨作用;(3)研究主要以英语专业考试和教学为主,中小学等鲜有研究,且研究对象以认证范围广、参加人数多的全国性考试如大学英语四、六级和英语专业四、八级考试为研究对象,但一些基于校内期中、期末考试及随堂测验的研究成果同样引人注目。虽然这类文章并不多,但是已有的研究同样为我们提出了一些可行的建议。
