英语综合能力考试大纲
福州大学成人高等教育英语综合能力考试大纲
一、命题原则说明
1.“英语综合能力”考试应以《本科教育大学英语课程教学基本要求》(简称《基本要求》)为依据,客观真实地反映我校大学英语的教学效果、学生的英语知识水平、文化素养和英语综合运用能力。
2.“英语综合能力”考试在评估教与学的质量和效果方面应能起到和CET同样的作用。
即,“英语综合能力”考试的结果数据既能对本校的大学英语教学效果作纵向比较,也能进行校际间的横向比较。
3.为能实现横向比较的目的,“英语综合能力”考试的命题应参考CET的要求,与CET在内容、难易度、评分要求等方面达到基本一致。
命题时应参考本校学生CET的考试成绩,合理地使用CET的考试数据,尽可能做到“英语综合能力”考试的数据能准确地反映出我校大学英语教学水平。
4.国家教育部高教司在《大学英语课程要求》(试行)中明确指出,大学英语教学目标是培养学生的英语综合应用能力,据此要求,《英语综合能力》考试不仅测试学生的英语语言知识、一般的英语语言应用技能,而且也测试学生的英语综合应用能力和跨文化交际的能力。
