摘要:

鉴于我国学术英语量表研究和应用相对滞后,本文回顾了学术英语量表研究和口语能力构念定义,在此基础上构建了学术口语能力描述框架,并根据该框架从构念定义和描述语两个方面分析了《中国英语能力等级量表》口语分量表中的学术英语描述性特征,对完善口语量表提出以下建议:增加体现学术英语口语特征的次级描述参数,使学术口语能力得到更全面的诠释;构建学术英语口语分量表,以更好地引导学术英语口语的教学和测试。

关键词: 中国英语能力等级量表; 学术英语口语能力; 构念定义; 描述框架; 描述语

Abstract:

In view of deficient research and application of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) scales, this article reviews the EAP scales and definition of speaking ability and then proposes a descriptive framework of the EAP speaking ability. The proposed framework is then applied in order to analyze the descriptive features of academic English within the speaking scales of China’s Standards of English Language Ability (CSE) from two aspects: construct definition and descriptors. Based on the analysis, suggestions are made for improving the CSE speaking scales. First, it is suggested that EAP descriptor categories be added to the speaking scales in order to have better representation of the EAP speech construct. Second, it is suggested that EAP speaking ability sub-scales be constructed in order to provide better guidance for teaching and learning EAP speech.

Keywords: China’s Standards of English Language Ability (CSE); EAP speaking ability; construct definition; descriptive framework; descriptors
