六级、雅思、托福口语考试形式与题型对考官和考生会话特征的影响

Influence of the forms and types of CET-6, IELTS and TOEFL oral tests on the examiners and examinees’ conversational features

本研究以六级、雅思、托福口语考试的样本视频为研究对象,借助会话分析理论,尤其是其核心概念:话轮转换、序列结构、毗邻语对、会话修正的阐释,探讨三项口语考试形式与题型对考官和考生会话特征的影响,以期为完善口语考试,特别是大规模高风险口语考试的设计、评分、管理和英语口语教学实践提供建议。

This study, taking sample videos and their transcriptions from CET6, IELTS and TOEFL oral tests as research objects,and adopting Conversation Analysis especially its core concepts including Turn Taking, Sequential Organization, Adjacency Pair and Repair as the theoretical basis, discusses the influence of the forms and types of the three tests on the examiners and examinees’ conversational features. It is hoped that this study can provide suggestions for the improvement of oral tests,especially for large-scale high-stakes oral test design, scoring and management as well as English oral teaching practice.
