柳州市中考英语听力测试内容效度研究

A Study on Content Validity of English Listening Tests in Senior High School Entrance Examination of Liuzhou

摘要: 为探讨柳州市中考改革后英语听力测试变化，本研究基于语言使用任务特征框架，从输入特征、期待回答特征两方面对2022年至2024年柳州市中考英语听力试题进行内容效度定性、定量研究。结果表明，在输入特征方面改革后句子独白题型减少，篇章理解题型增多，且加设篇章填空题；整体听力文本词数略增且主题有所泛化；试题难度及平均语速呈下降趋势。在期待回答特征方面增设限制产出性回答，并沿袭了细节获取能力的考察。以上变化更贴近《新课标》对学生综合素质培养的标准，反映了改革后试题内容效度更高。为进一步培养学生的听力综合能力，中考英语教学需多注重对听力语篇的理解能力，深化拓展主题学习，加强对于细节把握能力的培养。

From the perspective of characteristics of the input, the tests showed that the number of sentence monologue was reduced, while the number of discourse comprehension was increased with the fill-in-the-blank added. The overall number of words in the listening texts was increased and the themes of each listening texts were broaden. The tasks became easier with lower speed of output. In the aspect of characteristics of the expected response, the limited output of answers was added and the examination of the ability to obtain details was continued. The above changes are closer to the Standards of the New Curriculum for the development of students’ comprehensive quality, reflecting a higher degree of content validity of the reformed test. In order to fully adapt to the changes, multi-topic listening training should be expanded and the comprehension ability, especially the ability to grasp details, should also be cultivated.
