本文报告了一项研究计划的结果，该计划旨在验证匈牙利英语学习者的c测试。研究人员对102名大学英语专业的学生进行了四种不同的语言测试（包括口头面试），以形成一种通用语言能力测试，并对c测试进行评估。他们进行了各种各样的分析，部分是为了复制早期研究的结果，看看这些结果可以推广到什么程度，部分是为了阐明有争议的问题。然后对四组中学生（N=53）进行同样的c测试，以检验在大学生中的发现是否也适用于另一个熟练程度范围。程序的结果证实了c测试是一种可靠有效的工具，并获得了关于文本难度和文本适当性，内容词和结构词的作用以及不同评分方法的使用等问题的详细信息。
This article reports on the results of a research programme carried out to validate the C-test amongst Hungarian EFL learners. One hundred and two university English majors were administered four different language tests (including an oral interview) to form a General Language Proficiency measure against which the C-test was evaluated. Various analyses were made, partly to replicate the results of the earlier studies to see to what extent these could be generalized, and partly to shed light on controversial issues. The same C-test was then administered to four groups of secondary school pupils (N=53) to examine whether the findings amongst university students were also true in another proficiency range. The results of the programme confirmed that the C-test is a reliable and valid instrument, and detailed information was obtained about issues such as text difficulty and text appropriateness, the role of content and structure words, and the use of different scoring methods.
