一、英语专业四级考试口试简介及评分方法。
根据大纲要求,口试内容将分解为三项:
(1)复述故事(听两遍故事后复述3分种);
(2)即席讲话(根据所给的题目准备3分钟后,作即席讲话3分钟);
(3)对话(根据规定的角色各自准备3分钟后,对话4分钟)。
评分项目为五项:
复述、即席讲话、语音语调及语法。
其中,前三项评分针对三项任务的完成情况,后两项是对考生在完成前三项任务中的语音语调及语法的总体评价。
具体评分过程如下:
(1)评分教师首先给三项任务依次打分,但每项任务的评分重点不同。
复述部分强调故事的完整性与条理性;即席讲话强调内容切题、丰富、条理清楚,表达流畅;交谈部分强调讨论充分、遵循交际原则。
(2)评分教师就考生在三项任务中的语音语调与语法进行总体的评价,打综合分。
分数采用百分制,每五分为一档。
(3)将五项分数相加,得到总分。
