作者简介
楼荷英,浙江大学英语语言文学博士,教授,硕士生导师。现为浙江工业大学外国语学院副院长。从事外国语言学及应用语言学专业教学与研究,研究方向为语言测试、二语习得。主持省部级科研、教改项目多项。在外语教学与研究出版社出版“十一五”规划教材《新编大学英语》,在浙江大学出版社出版著作、教材等十余部,在《外语教学与研究》《外语教学》《外语电化教学》《外语界》《外语研究》《社会科学战线》等核心期刊发表论文多篇。
本书特色
《受试者性格与其英语互动交际能力的关系:基于混合法的研究》采用自然数据,基于Bachman 和Palmer(2010)的评估使用论据(Assessment Use Argument, 简称AUA)模型,采用定量和定性相结合、细化话语分析法、展演论,分析了我国大学英语考试口语测试中考生的性格与其口语交际能力的关系,旨在对这项语言测试的信度进行探讨。本书在研究视角、理论框架及研究方法方面具有一定的创新。尝试使用AUA框架开展效度验证,对传统的效度验证框架是一个很好的补充。同时,本研究的发现对我国大学英语教学、口语测试开发及评分量表的设计具有一定的借鉴意义。
本书共分五章:最章介绍研究背景、目的、意义和研究问题等;第二章综述国内外配对(组)口试效度研究的历史与现状,评述Bachman &Palmer AUA模型;第三章阐述研究方法和步骤;第四章采用定量和定性结合的研究方法,探讨受试者性格与其口试中互动能力表现之间的关系;第五章运用展演论、AUA模型讨论研究结果的原因,分析本研究对于语言测试研究方面的理论意义和实际应用价值、对中国大学英语教学的启示等。
