CET-6 has formed a complete system from proposition, examination, examination organization, statistical analysis to result release. This is a large-scale examination organized in strict accordance with the quality requirements of standardized examinations. A large number of statistical data and experimental materials of validity research prove that CET-4 and CET-6 not only have high reliability, but also have high validity, which meets the quality requirements of large-scale standardized examinations and can reflect the English level of college students in China according to the requirements of syllabus, thus effectively promoting the implementation of college English syllabus and promoting the improvement of college English teaching level in China. College English test has been recognized by the society, with more than 1 1 10,000 references every year. This is the most cited single test in the world. At present, it has become one of the standards for recruiting college graduates by personnel departments at all levels, which has produced certain social benefits.
In the near future, one of the important measures to be taken in CET-6 is to reform the grading system and the way of report. Starting from June 2005, the scores of CET-4 and CET-6 will adopt a scoring system with a full score of 765,438+00, and there is no passing line. The way to report the results is changed from the certificate of passing the exam to the report card, that is, the report card is issued to each candidate after the exam, and the report content includes: total score, individual score, etc. In order to make schools understand the significance of test scores and make rational use of the test results according to the actual situation of each school, the College English Test Committee for Band 4 and Band 6 will provide explanations of test scores to schools.
In terms of content and form, CET-4 and CET-6 will increase the number and proportion of listening comprehension questions, increase the speed reading comprehension test and increase the proportion of non-multiple choice questions. The CET-4 and CET-6 in the pilot stage consists of four parts: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, comprehensive test and writing test. The proportion of listening comprehension has increased to 35%, of which listening dialogue accounts for 15% and listening essay accounts for 20%. The listening dialogue part includes listening comprehension of short dialogue and long dialogue; The listening essay part includes essay dictation and multiple-choice essay comprehension; Listening topics are real materials such as dialogues, lectures, radio and television programs. The proportion of reading comprehension is adjusted to 35%, of which intensive reading accounts for 25% and fast reading accounts for 10%. In the intensive reading part, in addition to reading comprehension, it also includes vocabulary understanding in the context of the text. The speed reading section tests various speed reading skills. The comprehensive test proportion is 15%, which consists of two parts. The first part is cloze or error correction, accounting for10%; The second part is short sentence question answering or translation, accounting for 5%. The proportion of writing ability test is 15%, and the genre includes argumentative, explanatory and practical writing.
According to the current reform process, in the near future, CET-4 and CET-6, which have been implemented for five years, will be implemented separately from the written test. At the same time, the examination committee will actively study and develop computerized oral test, so as to further expand the scale of oral test and promote college oral English teaching.
As CET-4 and CET-6 are super-large-scale standardized examinations involving tens of millions of candidates every year, the reform of examination content and form must go through a certain scale of pilot, scientifically demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the new examination paper, and understand the feedback from teachers and students. Therefore, since June 2006, 1, the reformed CET-4 has been tried out, and so has the new CET-6. Initially, the reformed CET-4 will be fully implemented in June 2007, and the reformed CET-6 will be fully implemented in June 2007. The examination committee will formulate a new syllabus and sample questions for CET-4 and CET-6 according to the teaching requirements, and announce them to teachers and students in time.
The development of any large-scale standardized examination is a process of continuous improvement and perfection. The development of Grade 4/6 17 years also proves this point. China's reform and opening up has continuously put forward higher requirements for China college students' English communicative competence. Therefore, the long-term reform task of CET-4 and CET-6 is still arduous. The Examination Committee will continue to study and develop new questions suitable for CET-4 and CET-6, and study the after-effects of the reformed CET-4 and CET-6 on teaching. At the same time, make full use of high-tech means, improve the examination management system, realize the online marking of CET-6, study computerized CET-CBT, and strive to achieve CET-6 in a certain range of candidates or in a certain ability test.
