对过去10年间(2003-2012年)发表在国内的10种外语类核心期刊上英语测试研究方面的文章做了系统的统计分析,结果显示:英语测试研究对象的类型开始多样化;对测试主体及影响测试因素的研究甚少;实证性研究的比例上升。结合分析结果,对未来国内英语测试的研究提出了一些看法。
We have made an analysis of the research papers about English testing published in ten of the major linguistic journals in China from 2003 to 2012, and the analysis reveals that the English testing research targets have been diversified while the test subjects and the factors that have great influences on test results are seldom investigated and empirical studies on English testing deserve to be extended. Based on the result, the article proposes some sug- gestions for future research.
