Abstract

综合写作测试是在理解与运用从聆听、阅读得来的信息基础上的写作。由于它具有真实性、公平性的特点,所以在国际、地区性的语言测试中被广泛使用。国际上对英语二语、中文一语的综合写作(如香港中学文凭考试)已有较多的研究,对中文二语综合写作则少有涉及。本文选择八种国际中文考试,采用定向内容分析法对其中的11个综合写作任务进行分析。结果发现,当前国际中文一语与二语综合写作测试任务主要类型是缩写与回应性写作,其整体安排符合交际性、真实性的现代评估理念。二语写作任务比较重视语言基本能力的准确性与灵活性,而一语则更关注高认知能力有关的整合、个人观点与论证等能力,体现更多的高层级认知能力要求。最后,本文对如何改进中文综合写作测试的当前实践及未来开展的研究提出了初步的建议。

Integrated writing tasks, which require students to write compositions based on information from listening and reading resources, are widely used in international and regional language examinations because of their authenticity and fairness. Although extensive studies have been conducted on integrated writing in L2 English and L1 Chinese, writing tasks in L2 Chinese are rarely examined. This paper investigates eleven integrated writing tasks from eight international Chinese examinations by employing the method of directed content analysis. The result reveals that these integrated writing tasks contain mainly summary and responsive writing, which aligns with the modern assessment principles of communicativeness and authenticity. We also find that L2 writing tasks emphasize the accuracy and flexibility of basic linguistic skills, whereas L1 writing tasks highlight integration, personal views, and argumentation that are related to the effectiveness of language communication, and consequently tap into higher-order thinking skills. Brief suggestions for how to improve examination practice are also provided.
