数据信息时代教育技术在ESP形成性测试中的运用

Application of Education Technologies in ESP Assessment in the Digital Era

世界已进入数据信息时代,第二代网络教育技术(Web 2.0 tools)正不断冲击语言教学以及其测试的发展,ESP教学测试同样也面临前所未有的巨大挑战。而随着新一代教育技术不断深入影响ESP教学,在ESP测试中引入新一代教育技术进行形成性替代测试以配合教学需求这一趋势已不可逆转。在此背景下,本文选取在美国科研刊物上发表的20篇有关ESP测试研究以及相关的教育技术的文献进行综合分析研究,并在此基础上初步探讨这些研究发现对ESP测试及教学实践的启示。

In the digital era in today’s world,great impact from Web 2.0 technology in education has been continuously felt in language teaching and testing,and developments in ESP instruction and assessment are inevitably facing unprecedented challenges as well.With the ever-increasing influence of the new educational technologies on ESP instruction,it has become irreversible to introduce this new generation of technology in ESP assessment to conduct formative and alternative assessments to meet the needs of the specific purposes in teaching.Against this background,this study conducts a metaanalysis of 20 articles on ESP assessments and related implementation of technologies in American academic journals,on the basis of which potential implications for ESP instruction and assessment are discussed and explored.
