基于Bachman交际测试论述框架下英语四级阅读理解探讨

TEM4作为一种正规的、标准的、为英语专业学生专门设计的语言测试,现在正在逐步得到社会的肯定。自1990年测试开始,TEM4就已在中国成为判定英语教学的一个标杆,所以,我们对它所取得成绩给予很大关注。而阅读理解,作为理解语言的主要方式,一直都被以为|教育论文网|是语言测试不可或缺的部分,因此了解考生英语阅读能力及其TEM4中的阅读理解是否能够体现出考生的真正的阅读水平是我们亟待研究解决的问题。本文在巴克曼提出的交际测试的要素的基础上,分析了阅读理解和阅读测试的特点,对改革后的TEM4的题型和选材等方面进行了效度分析和研究。研究结果表明,改革后的TEM4阅读部分在很大程度上具备了交际测试各项标准,具有较高的效度,能够比较正确的体现学习者交际性英语阅读能力。【关键词】：大学英语专业四级交际阅读能力效度
