歌唱与口头陈述两种口语测试方式的内容效度比较

Comparison of content validity between two types of oral tests: singing and oral presentations

大学英语课程是大学生的一门必修课。大学英语课程教学中要求大学生应能在学习过程中用英语交流,能就日常话题用英语进行交谈和作简短发言。本文旨在通过歌唱和口头陈述两种口语测试方式提高学生学习兴趣和评估学生口语表达能力,并从内容效度上进行分析比较。由此得知,歌唱的内容效度比口头陈述的低且无法反映学生真实的口语水平,应当采取口头陈述进行口语测试。

College English course is a required course for college students. In college English teaching, college students should be able to communicate in English during their study, and be able to converse in English and make short speeches on daily topics. The purpose of this study is to improve students' learning interest and evaluate students' oral ability through two oral tests, namely singing and oral presentations, and compare them with content validity. Therefore, the content validity of singing is lower than that of oral presentations, and it can not reflect the students' true oral proficiency. Oral presentations should be used to conduct oral tests.
