改革后大学德语四级听力试题内容效度分析

Evaluating the Content Validity of Post-Reform PHD 4 Listening Comprehension Session

以2010年大学德语四级听力测试大幅度改革后7套听力试题为研究对象,结合《大学德语课程教学要求》和《大学德语四、六级考试大纲》对听力部分的要求,以Bachman&Palmer的任务特征框架为依据,对大学德语四级听力试题进行系统的内容效度分析,旨在探讨改革后大学德语四级听力试题的命题质量。研究结果表明:改革后大学德语四级听力试题的语篇输入和预期作答任务特征比较符合《教学要求》和《考试大纲》的相应要求。然而,分析中也发现一些不足,例如试题结构、任务类型单一,部分试卷听力材料偏难,语速波动大等。基于上述研究结果,横向对比“欧洲语言共同参考框架”A2听力试题,尝试为大学德语四级听力试题命制提供参考性建议。

Based on corresponding teaching and testing syllabuses after reform in 2010,this paper analyses the content validity of listening comprehension session of PHD 4 within the framework of test task characteristics put forward by Bachman&Palmer(1996),aiming at examining tests’quality.The findings reveal that the characteristics of the listening tasks and expected response to the test items basically accord with the requirements of the corresponding teaching and testing syllabuses.However,some defects need noticing:test format and task types of some test papers are monotonous while other listening material and test items are too difficult in addition to the dramatically varied speech speed.Compared with GeR A2listening comprehension,this paper puts forward some tentative suggestions for the future design of the PHD 4 listening comprehension.
