为了衡量非英语母语者的英语听力理解和阅读理解技能,托业(国际交流英语考试)测试使用七种不同类型的测试项目(四种用于评估听力理解,三种用于评估阅读理解)。分别涉及日语和韩语母语者的数据的探索性因素分析结果以及本文报告的其他相关证据表明,听力理解(LC)部分具有一维性,但阅读理解(RC)部分则不然:标记为“阅读”的 RC 项目类型似乎正在利用“阅读理解”的各个方面,这些方面在心理测量上与标记为“错误识别”和“不完整句子”的 RC 项目类型所测量的共同点有所区别。需要进一步的研究来评估这些研究结果分别在日语和韩语母语样本中的一致性、它们对托业考试考生的其他母语群体的可能的普遍性以及它们的实际意义。
To measure English language listening comprehension and reading comprehension skills in samples of nonnative-English speakers, the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) test uses seven different types of test items (four for assessing listening comprehension and three for assessing reading comprehension). Results of an exploratory factor analysis involving data for native-speakers of Japanese and Korean, respectively, and other correlational evidence reported herein, suggest unidimensionality for the Listening Comprehension (LC) but not for the Reading Comprehension (RC) section: an RC item type labelled “reading” appears to be tapping aspects of “reading comprehension” that are psychometrically distinguishable from those measured in common by RC item types labelled “error recognition” and “incomplete sentences”. Further research is needed to assess the consistency of these findings in samples of native-speakers of Japanese and Korean, respectively, their possible generalizability to other native-language populations of TOEIC test takers, and their practical implications.
