课程思政建设背景下外语听力测试的改革方向

Orientations for Future Development of Foreign Language Listening Assessment in the Context of Ideological-Political Course Construction

听力测试是外语课程思政建设中落实育人目标的方法和手段之一。本研究旨在探索“大思政”育人格局下听力测试设计开发的需求,分析相关研究现状及不足之处,展望听力测评未来的发展路径,提出听力测试设计5个方面的发展方向:1)继续完善听力理解模型中高层次思维能力的界定和分类,丰富对听力构念本质的认识;2)深入探索听力语篇选材难度的适切性、内容的真实性及思政元素的挖掘等问题;3)注重任务设计的多元化,研究不同类型听力任务的特点、设计原则和使用方法;4)重视信息技术在听力测试中的运用,确保技术的稳定性和可操作性,以优质任务设计为重心,避免形式主义;5)重视听力测试的促学功能,在教学中逐步达到“以测促学”“作为学习的测评”和“师生学习共同体”3种境界。

Listening assessment is one of the practical methods to implement ideological-political education in foreign language courses.This paper aims to analyze the specific needs for developing foreign language listening assessments in the grand scenario of ideological-political education by summarizing current situation and identifying gaps in previous studies.Based on a review of literature,the authors propose five aspects to be improved in future research and practice of listening assessments:1)to enhance the theoretical constructions of higher-level mental processes in listening comprehension in order to improve the listening construct;2)to explore the appropriate approaches for material selection,concerning levels of difficulty,authenticity and the ideological-political elements in the listening discourse;3)to emphasize a diversified way of task design and closely study the special characteristics,principles and methods in listening task design;4)to highlight practical values of information technology in the use of listening assessment,ensuring its stability and feasibility,focusing on high-quality task design rather than the formalities;5)to promote learning with listening assessments,starting from“assessment for learning”,reaching further for“assessment as learning”,and finally establishing a learning community for teachers and students.
