考生视角下大学英语四、六级网考的问题与对策

Investigation on the Problems of Internet-based CET 4 & 6and Solutions from Test-takers' Perspective

2008年开始的大学英语四、六级网考尚处于试点阶段。对网考问题与对策的研究有利于网考的完善、成熟与推广，促进考试与教学之间的互动。项目组通过问卷与访谈，调查了考生在网考中感受到的困难与问题，以及为适应新的考试形式对今后教学提出的建议。调查结果显示58.9%的考生认为网考的视听部分难度大，主要原因在于：语速快，对原声语音、语调不习惯，对题材、体裁不熟悉，词汇量大等等。调查结果也表明考生对屏幕呈现、输入、提交方式、答题时间、顺序的程序控制等网考方式的不适应。研究揭示了造成网考问题的三大主要症结：大学英语教学与网考要求脱节；网考自身的设计问题；设备状况与考试环境欠佳。基于调查分析，研究提出了教学双方、考试设计方以及学校管理方可采取的应对策略。
