关于词汇检测效度的不足与对策
摘要：大学英语词汇测试主要是考察学生对词汇的含义和词形的掌握情况。但是词汇测试不仅仅需要考察意义和词形这两方面，而要旨在考察对词汇全方位知识的掌握(Nation，2001)。目前广泛应用的两种词汇检测方式来探论词汇测试中存在的不足，为了提高词汇测试的效度，需要考察被测试者更全面的词汇知识。 关键词：词汇测试测试手段测试的目的、效度和信度 引言 20世纪词汇测试主要和客观性测试的发展有关。客观测试是指学习内容被分成一个个细小的单位，每个单位通过一道事先编好只有一个正确答案的题目来进行测试(Read，20oo)。最普遍的方式就是多项选择题，它的客观性就在于评分者不需要主管评判就可给出精确的评分。这种通过分离、无联系的题目(discretepoint)来测试外语词汇的方式早已被认为不是一个有效的方式。相反地，应该通过间接的综合测试(indi．erctintegrativetesting)来考察学习者利用所学知识应用词汇的能力。Read(20oo)试图解答关于词汇知识掌握的质量的两个问题：一是如何将“词汇知识”概念化?二是如何检测“词汇知识”。结果他发现“词汇知识”本身是一个非常复杂的概念，就具体目的要以和学习者访谈的方式进行评估。因此，要想明确如何进行测试、测试哪些方面，首先必须要清楚词汇到底有哪些方面可以被测试或者需要测试。Nation(2001)提出了关于词汇知识的三个方面：词形、词义及词的应用。每个方面分别又涉及到三个方面。Nation指出要想达到英语为本族语的人的语言熟练程度，这九个方面是外语学习者应该掌握的。 词形：1)口语形式；2)书面形式；3)词的构成部分词义：1)形式与意义；2)概念与所指； 3)联想(联系)应用：1)语法功能；2)搭配；3)应用的限制(如语域、频度等)Nation对于每个方面又进行了接受性知识(RK：erceptiveknowledge)和产出性知识(PK：productiveknow1．edge)的划分。RK主要指在听或读时对词形的辨认和词义的回忆，PK主要指在说或写时表达或写出恰当的词性及词意。比如，就“形式与意义”这方面的RK可能是“这个词所传递的意思是什么”而PK可能是“哪个词可以用来表达这个意思”。 两个测试方法 多项选择题和词形转换填空题一直是英语词汇测试的两个普遍的、重要的检测手段。 (一)多项选择题 多项选择题一般又分为两类：匹配题和填空题。 1．匹配题。即给出一个句子，其中某个词下画线(或斜体)，要求考生在四个选项中找出一个与下画线(或斜体)的词意思相同或相似的词。如： They occasionally stop by to see us． A．often B．usually C．seldom D．onceinawhile 总的说来，这种模式主要是考察“接受性”知识。考生需要识别出画线词的词形及意思，选择一个具有相似意思的词。它无法通过考生的回答来判断其运用该词的“产出性”能力。但是，通常试题会给出考生一定的语境(context)以便考生能通过一些线索clues)来做出判断。Nation(2001)根据语境的多少和范围将语境分为三种：1)孤立的词(isolatedwords)；2)句子语境(其中又分为最小化句子minimalsentence和长句long sentence)；3)篇章段落语境。现在我们所见到的试题绝大多数都属于第二种。 2．填空题。通常是要求考生从给出的选项中选出一个可以填人到题目句子中的词。如：Vickiehad mostprobably---·—--her for another sort of girl A．regarded B．viewed C．im staken D．1ooked 同匹配题类似，此类题型还是主要考察考生的接收性知识而不是产出性知识。它要求考
