本研究探讨了英语作为第二语言（ESL）口语能力自我评估的有效性和潜在实用性，该自评量表旨在名义上与跨机构语言圆桌会议（ILR）成员用于评估语言能力面试（LPI）表现的量表（在分数或水平以及相应的语言使用行为描述方面平行）。研究样本主要由受过教育的成人 ESL 用户/学习者组成，其中大多数是以法语或德语为母语，他们在参加瑞士与就业相关的 ESL 培训环境中的国际交流英语考试 (TOEIC) 之前提供自我评估。自我评分和 TOEIC 分数之间的相关性集中在 0.7 左右，并且平均 ILR 参考自我评分非常接近“预测的 ILR 标度 LPI 评分”，其中预测基于先前开发的用于根据 TOEIC 评分预测 LPI 评分的方程。建议进行进一步研究的调查路线。
This study explored the validity and potential utility for self-assessment of speaking proficiency in English as a second language (ESL), of a self-rating scale intended to nominally parallel–in terms of number of points or levels and corresponding descriptions of language-use behavior–a scale used by members of the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) to rate performance in Language Proficiency Interviews (LPI). The study sample was composed primarily of educated, adult ESL users/learners, most of whom were native-speakers of either French or German, who provided self-assessments just prior to taking the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC), in employment-related ESL training contexts in Switzerland. Correlations between self-ratings and TOEIC scores centered around .7, and the mean ILR-referenced self-rating was very close to that for “predicted ILR-scaled LPI rating”, where prediction was based on a previously developed equation for predicting LPI rating from TOEIC score. Lines of inquiry warranting further research are suggested.
