內容簡介

　　這是一部討論語言測試問題的學術專著，作者B·斯伯爾斯基是以色列巴依蘭大學的英語教授，從事語言測試研究多年，在這方面有豐富的經(jīng)驗和豐碩的成果。本書匯集了翔實的史料，介紹了客觀語言測試在20世紀的發(fā)展，為研究人員了解英語測試的歷史以及展望未來可能的發(fā)展前景提供了可貴的背景資料。全書分為兩大部分。第一部分題為“客觀語言測試的歷史”，論述了測試的驅動力，回顧了1913—1935年間出現(xiàn)的新型語言測試，心理測量學的傳播及主導地位的取得，30年代語言測試技術的新發(fā)展，二戰(zhàn)期間服務于國家利益的語言測試之誕生，語言測試的專業(yè)化和1954—1965年間語言測試日趨成熟的過程。作者通過回顧語言測試發(fā)展的歷史，揭示了測試走向客觀的必然趨勢。第二部分題為“TOE—FL考試以及美國英語測試的興起”。這部分中作者回顧了TOEFL考試的醞釀、誕生及發(fā)展，論述了公共測試和學院測試的興起，并分析了機構、政治和經(jīng)濟等因素對測試理論的影響。本書論述的內容并非語言測試理論和實踐的全史，而是高度機構化、產(chǎn)業(yè)化的測試的局部歷史。這是一部人類如何發(fā)展那些著重可靠性、高效性和商業(yè)可行性的測試的歷史。本書是一本頗有分量、富有啟發(fā)性的語言測試專著，適用于攻讀應用語言學和外語教學理論的碩士生和博士生，可作為他們的教材或必讀參考書；對于從事語言測試發(fā)展研究和應用的學者，也有相當高的參考價值。
