IBDP中文B考试阅读文本的多角度考察

A multi-angle study of the reading texts of the IB-DP Chinese-language-proficiency Test B

"国际文凭组织"(International Baccalaureate Organization)是国际著名教育机构,其为高中生开发的"文凭项目"(DP)课程已被众多国际学校所采用。中国境内的国际学校普遍开设了针对非母语者的中文B课程,其考试成绩也成为衡量学生中文水平的重要标尺,但由于IB组织并未指定教材,仅在其大纲中规定了若干核心主题和选修主题,缺少"词汇""语法"等语言知识方面的规定,使得一线教师及学生应考时存在一定的盲目性。本研究以内容分析法和定量统计法,对近10年来IB中文B考试中标准水平(SL)、高级水平(HL)的试卷一的试题文本从文本难度、主题、体裁及来源进行了系统考察,试图从这4个角度对SL与HL试卷的阅读文本特点进行分析,从而为IBDP中文B学习者的应考以及教师的应试指导等提供帮助。

The International Baccalaureate Organization is a well-known international education institution,whose DP for high school students is popular with quite a few international schools.The Chinese-language B-Program offered in most international schools in China is quite popular,whose test scores are a key criterion for their Chinese proficiency.Because the International Baccalaureate Organization has mentioned only some key and optional items in its syllabus rather than textbooks for its tests,the lack of some lexical and grammatical requirements in its syllabus results in some teachers＇ and students＇ confusion over its tests.This paper adopts the methods of content analysis and quantitative statistics to analyze the difficulty,topics,types and sources of the reading texts of SL and HL test papers of IB Chinese-language-proficiency Test B in the past ten years,especially their typical features,which can shed some light on the IB-DP Chinese-language B-Program learners and instructors.
