讀寫任務(wù)中策略運用對測試效果的影響研究
[Abstract]:In recent years, more and more university classified examinations and large-scale testing institutions have begun to test students'academic writing ability with comprehensive writing tasks, a type of writing task that combines writing with reading or listening. However, it is necessary to verify the validity of the comprehensive writing task in assessing and distinguishing students'academic writing ability. Therefore, many experts and scholars who study the testing and development of English writing and some teachers who teach second language writing are involved. Many studies have been devoted to comparing the differences in text characteristics, writing scores and writing process between different task types (independent writing and comprehensive writing). Some have studied reading ability and writing process. The role of strategies in reading and writing tasks and the process of discourse synthesis in writing have been studied. However, few studies have been conducted on the use of strategies in comprehensive reading and writing tasks under the test environment. Three research questions: (1) What is the nature of strategy use in reading and writing tasks? (2) What is the relationship between strategy use in reading and writing tasks and test scores? (3) What is the difference between high-score candidates and low-score candidates in strategy use? By using factor analysis and structural equation model, this paper explores the nature of these strategies and their effects on writing, and further studies the structure of the integrated reading and writing task, providing some validity proof of the task type. In the first part, 99 students were asked to complete a reading and writing task test in time. After writing, they filled out a writing questionnaire. In the second part of the experiment, they used voice thinking and interview. The purpose of this study is to explore the strategies used by students and compare the differences between high and low score candidates. Through the experiment, the researchers collected the compositions of all participants, questionnaires on strategies, the process of thinking aloud and the recording of interviews. The purpose of this study is to find out which aspects of the students'compositions are affected by the use of strategies. Then, according to certain criteria of strategy classification, the data of audio thinking and interviews are transcribed and labeled as specific strategies. A series of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to explore the potential structure of the candidates'strategy use in reading and writing tasks. Then the structural equation model was used to explore the correlation between the candidates' strategy use and their writing scores. Finally, the frequency of strategy activities in audio thinking and interview data was calculated by qualitative analysis. The results show that the structure of students'strategy use is more complex in the reading and writing test task. There are both reading strategies and writing skills, including cognitive, metacognitive and emotional strategies, as well as some individual test-taking skills, such as writing templates and plagiarism of reading materials: both direct strategies such as selection, organization, memory, and translation, and indirect strategies such as evaluation, monitoring, self-motivation and anxiety reduction. Generally speaking, the structure of strategy use in reading and writing test includes four dimensions, namely, cognitive strategy, metacognitive strategy, affective strategy and test-taking skills. Cognitive and affective strategies are highly correlated and interact with each other. Secondly, in terms of the relationship between the use of strategies and the effect of writing, the study finds that metacognitive strategies indirectly influence the writing effect of examinees through cognitive and affective strategies. The use of cognitive strategies has a direct and positive effect on the writing effect, but the effect is not obvious. Emotional strategies directly or indirectly affect the writing effect of the examinees. However, the examinees'individual test-taking skills have a significant negative effect on their writing effect. Finally, the data analysis of the voice thinking and interviews shows that the effect is not obvious. High-score students tend to use more diversified and generalized strategies, while low-score students use more single and specific strategies. In addition, the study also found that the level of writing scores was not related to the number of strategies used, but to the choice of strategies and the effect of strategies used. Finally, based on the results of the oral data analysis, this study proposed a strategy-based approach to reading and writing tasks. To sum up, the findings of this study will shed light on the study, teaching, testing and research of second language writing, especially academic writing. The implications of the findings of this study for second language writing and academic writing are mainly reflected in three aspects. From the angle of view, this study explores the constructive validity of the comprehensive reading and writing task, and the results verify the validity of the reading and writing task. Colleges and universities and large-scale test machines can use reading and writing tasks to examine students'academic writing ability. The results of this study will provide some references for the teaching and learning of academic writing strategies. In terms of methodology, at the level of data collection, This study not only investigated the strategies used by candidates by questionnaires, but also fully recorded the process and opinions of candidates participating in the whole reading and writing task by means of voice thinking and interviews. On the analysis method level, this study used structural equation model, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to explore candidates. The structural equation model can effectively analyze the relationship between the potential factors and their observable variables, as well as the relationship between multiple potential factors. It also provides a basis for the validity study of test questions in the field of language testing in the future. As with most strategies and structural equation models, there are some limitations in this study. For example, since there is no uniform classification criterion for SLA learning strategies in academic circles, there are some subjective factors and some strategies in the formulation of the strategy questionnaire and the transcription of thinking through voice. In addition, the number of subjects is relatively small for the study using the structural equation model as the main analysis method, which affects the stability of the model and the generality of the research results to a certain extent. Develop a more comprehensive, detailed and scientific strategy questionnaire.
