摘要
中国英语能力等级量表为各级各类英语考试提供科学的能力指标体系和准确的能力标尺,使考试设计更加全面、系统,使考试成绩具有可比性,实现"量同衡";为英语教学的过程性、终结性等测评方式提供能力参照标准,促进多元评价的发展,推动教学、学习、测试的协调发展,实现"车同轨"。本文首先介绍了中国英语能力等级量表描述语的规范、能力描述的体系、描述语的级别以及简要内容,然后依据我国《高等学校商务英语专业本科教学质量国家标准》,从语言应用能力等方面阐述了中国英语能力等级量表与我国商务英语测评之间的联系,并对我国商务英语测评提出了一些建议。
China's Standards of English Language Ability(CSE) provides coherent standards and scales for the various English tests in China,bringing the tests into the same scale which makes it possible for the comparable studies between the results of different tests. CSE also gives references for the implementation of formative assessment in the teaching of Business English.This article first introduces the norms for writing CSE descriptors, the internal structure of the CSE descriptors and the CSE levels. Then, based on the national standards set for Business English teaching in China, a link is established between CSE and Business English testing and assessment.Some suggestions are given at the end for Business English testing and assessment.
