如果考试要准确地衡量学习者的语言能力，考官必须尽量减少文本组织和答题格式等干预因素对考试结果的影响。本文旨在探讨这两个因素对第二语言学习者阅读理解测试成绩的影响。本研究对754名日本大学生的阅读理解测试结果进行了分析。研究发现，课文组织和考试形式对学生的成绩有显著影响。当课文结构清晰时，越熟练的学生在摘要写作和开放式问题上取得了更好的成绩。相比之下，课文的结构对不太熟练的学生的表现几乎没有影响。这表明，结构良好的课文更容易区分不同熟练程度的学生。到目前为止，考官们很少注意到文本结构和考试形式对学生成绩的影响。通过更多地关注这些因素，他们将提高测试的有效性。
If tests are to provide an accurate measure of learners’ language abilities, examiners must minimize the influence of intervening factors such as text organization and response format on test results. The purpose of this article is to investigate the effects of these two factors on second language learners’ performance in reading comprehension tests. The study analyses the results of reading comprehension tests which were delivered to 754 Japanese university students. The main finding is that text organization and test format had a significant impact on the students’ performance. When texts were clearly structured, the more proficient students achieved better results in summary writing and open-ended questions. By contrast the structure of the text made little difference to the performance of the less proficient students. This suggests that well-structured texts make it easier to differentiate between students with different levels of proficiency. Examiners have hitherto taken little notice of the impact of text structure and test format on students’ results. By paying more attention to these factors, they will enhance the validity of their tests.
