摘要
本研究基于语言任务特征描述框架,考察了我国大学英语四级水平考生对《欧洲语言共同参考框架》B1—C1级别阅读能力描述语的理解情况。研究结果表明,我国大学生对阅读能力描述语的理解受到代码复杂度(篇章语言难度)、话题熟悉度、阅读时间压力和任务支配度(阅读条件限制)的影响,而思维过程复杂度(认知负荷)的影响则不甚明确。本研究能为中国英语能力等级量表的建设和修订提供一定经验借鉴。
By adopting Skehan's list of salient features for describing language tasks as the theoretical framework, the present study examines how CET 4 test-takers in China understand the descriptors of reading proficiency at the levels from B1 to C1 in the CEFR ( Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). The study resuhs show that the task features of code complexity ( language difficulty) , topic familiarity, time pressure and task control ( task conditions and limitations) have significant impacts on the subjects' evaluation of the descriptors. The effect of task processing complexity (cognitive loading) is, however, equivocal. The study is expected to provide insights for the development and revision of China's Standards of English.
