摘要本研究旨在探讨任务类型对台湾大学生英语口语测试成绩的影响。本研究探讨的主要研究问题包括：(1)考生在不同任务类型的英语口语测试中的表现是否不同？(2)在不同的任务类型下，考生话语的准确性、复杂性和流畅性是否存在差异？(3)考生对三个口语任务的看法是什么？研究对象为台湾某大学英语专业的30名学生。在研究中采用的三种任务类型包括回答问题，图片描述和演示。研究对象在语言实验室环境中接受测试，并通过录音回答问题。在完成口语测试后，受试者回答了一份问卷，旨在引出他们对这三个任务的情感反应。磁带由两名英语老师独立评分。录音的协议也被转录以分析准确性、复杂性和流畅性。研究结果可以为第二语言口语评价任务的效果提供实证依据。研究结果也有望为设计英语口语测试提供一些启示。
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of task type on the performance of EFL speaking tests for Taiwanese college students. The major research questions explored in the study include: (1) Will test takers perform differently on various task types of EFL speaking tests? (2) Are there any differences in the accuracy, complexity, and fluency of test takers’ discourse in terms of different task types? (3) What are test takers’ perceptions toward the three speaking tasks? Subjects in the study were 30 students of English major at a university in Taiwan. The three task types adopted in the study consisted of answering questions, picture description, and presentation. The subjects were tested in a language-lab setting and responded on an audiotape. After completing the speaking test, subjects answered a questionnaire designed to elicit their affective reactions toward the three tasks. The tapes were scored independently by two English teachers of native speaker. The taped protocols were also transcribed for the analysis of accuracy, complexity, and fluency. Results of the study can provide empirical evidences for the effects of L2 speaking assessment tasks. Results are also expected to offer some implications for designing EFL speaking tests.
