【摘要】：随着经济全球化的进一步发展,商务英语学科的建设和商务英语人才的培养的重要性日益凸显。由此,商务英语测试在衡量受试者商务英语能力方面发挥着及其重要的作用。剑桥商务英语测试是由英国剑桥大学考试委员会举办的用于衡量非英语国家考生商务英语能力的水平测试。全国国际商务英语测试是由国家商务部中国国际贸易学会组织的用于衡量考生商务英语能力的水平测试。本文通过对两种长期在中国并存的针对测试者商务英语能力的测试的阅读理解部分试题的质量进行分析,指出各自存在的缺陷,并对编写商务英语阅读理解测试提出意见,以提高商务英语阅读理解试题的质量。本文从信度、效度、难度、区分度四个方面分析二者阅读理解部分试题的质量,通过随机抽取的方式选取一份BEC和一份CNBECT真题对湖北工业大学商务英语专业的一个自然班级进行测试,分析两套测试阅读理解部分试题的结果。本研究的信度分析选择半分信度,计算信度系数,检验考题的内部一致性。效度分析主要测量两项测试的题目是否有效地测试了所要考的内容,主要针对测试的表面效度、内容效度和构念效度。难度分析则通过二值计分题目难度计算出二者试题的难度,区分度分析在于根据二者高分组及低分组通过率来获得各自的区分度。并根据以上四个方面的分析判断两套阅读理解试题的质量。分析结果发现剑桥商务英语测试和全国国际商务英语测试的阅读理解部分的试题均具备良好的信度和效度,且二者都具有较高的质量。根据难度和区分度分析,二者均达到了水平测试所具备的要求。但是,二者的试题都应进一步提高,出题人应当注意文本选择及试题的多样性。通过研究,本文还对商务英语阅读理解试题的设计提出了一些意见。商务英语阅读理解试题应包括两个方面:一是语言能力;二是基本的商务知识。具体来说,阅读试题应注意以下问题:首先,在篇章的选择上,文本类型应更加多样化。第二,确保篇章和试题的真实性;第三,试题的类型应当更加丰富,通过不同类型的试题测试受试者更加全面的商务英语能力。
[Abstract]:With the further development of economic globalization, the construction of business English and the cultivation of business English talents are becoming more and more important. Therefore, business English test plays an important role in measuring the subjects' business English competence. The Cambridge Business English Test is a proficiency test conducted by the University of Cambridge examination Committee to measure the business English proficiency of candidates from non-English speaking countries. The National International Business English Test is a proficiency test organized by the China International Trade Association of the State Ministry of Commerce to measure candidates' ability in business English. This paper analyzes the quality of the reading comprehension part of two kinds of reading comprehension tests for the business English proficiency of the testers in China for a long time, points out their respective defects, and puts forward some suggestions on the preparation of the business English reading comprehension tests. In order to improve the quality of business English reading comprehension test. This paper analyzes the quality of the two reading comprehension questions from four aspects: reliability, validity, difficulty and distinction. A natural class of business English major in Hubei University of Technology was tested by random selection of a BEC and a CNBECT question, and the results of two sets of reading comprehension tests were analyzed. The reliability analysis of this study selects the half-component reliability, calculates the reliability coefficient, and verifies the internal consistency of the test questions. Validity analysis mainly measures whether the subjects of the two tests are effective in testing the content of the test, mainly aimed at the surface validity, content validity and structural validity of the test. On the other hand, the difficulty of the two test questions is calculated by the difficulty of the binary score problem. The distinguishing degree analysis is based on the high score group and the low pass rate of the two groups. And according to the above four aspects of the analysis of the two sets of reading comprehension test quality. The results show that both the Cambridge Business English Test and the National Business English Test have good reliability and validity, and both of them have high quality. According to the analysis of degree of difficulty and differentiation, both of them meet the requirements of the level test. However, both the questions should be further improved, the issuer should pay attention to the choice of text and the diversity of the questions. Through the research, this paper also puts forward some suggestions on the design of business English reading comprehension test. The business English reading comprehension test should include two aspects: first, language ability; second, basic business knowledge. To be specific, we should pay attention to the following questions: first, the text types should be more diversified in the choice of text. Second, to ensure the authenticity of the text and the test questions; third, the types of questions should be more abundant, through different types of questions to test the subjects more comprehensive business English skills.
