摘要

为了满足不断增长的汉语学习者的需要，本研究采用项目反应理论，在印度尼西亚的 170 名汉语作为第二语言/外语（CS/FL）学习者和泰国的 354 名汉语作为第二语言/外语（CS/FL）学习者中，开发并初步验证了针对汉语作为第二语言/外语（CS/FL）学习者的 100 个项目的汉语词汇能力测试（CVPT）。被试需要用印尼语或泰语翻译或解释中文词义。研究结果从内容、实质、结构、泛化和外部等方面初步证明了CVPT在测量CS/FL学习者接受性汉语词汇知识方面的建构效度。基于翻译的 CVPT 是通过探究 CS/FL 学习者在词汇翻译任务中的表现来测量其词汇水平的一种尝试，有可能揭示应试者的高度词汇知识。这种 CVPT 对中文词汇教学和未来中文词汇测量工具的设计可能会有所帮助。

The development of a Chinese vocabulary proficiency test (CVPT) for learners of Chinese as a second/foreign language

In order to address the needs of the continually growing number of Chinese language learners, the present study developed and presented initial validation of a 100-item Chinese vocabulary proficiency test (CVPT) for learners of Chinese as a second/foreign language (CS/FL) using Item Response Theory among 170 CS/FL learners from Indonesia and 354 CS/FL learners from Thailand. Participants were required to translate or explain the meanings of the Chinese words using Indonesian or Thai. The results provided preliminary evidence for the construct validity of the CVPT for measuring CS/FL learners’ receptive Chinese vocabulary knowledge in terms of content, substantive, structural, generalizability, and external aspects. The translation-based CVPT was an attempt to measure CS/FL learners’ vocabulary proficiency by exploring their performance in a vocabulary translation task, potentially revealing test-takers’ high-degree vocabulary knowledge. Such a CVPT could be useful for Chinese vocabulary instruction and designing future Chinese vocabulary measurement tools.

期刊介绍： Language Testing is a fully peer reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on language testing and assessment. It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between people working in the fields of first and second language testing and assessment. This includes researchers and practitioners in EFL and ESL testing, and assessment in child language acquisition and language pathology. In addition, special attention is focused on issues of testing theory, experimental investigations, and the following up of practical implications.
