摘要

作为 21 世纪的基本技能之一,批判性思维(Critical Thinking,CT)是学术英语评估(EAP)领域中一个颇受关注的话题。最近有关 EAP 教学和评估的文献表明,EAP 已经超越了对语言提高的严格关注,发展到包括话语能力和更广泛的学术素养发展,而 CT 在学术交流中发挥着重要作用。教育评估的一个基本考虑因素是界定要评估的知识、技能或能力的建构。然而,在有关 EAP 口语评估的研究文献中,CT 并没有得到应有的重视,因此,人们有理由担心它在学术口语建构中的代表性不足。本研究借鉴Macqueen(2022年)对理论、陈述、感知和操作化评估建构的区分,旨在通过纳入CT概念来描述EAP口语评估建构。通过在文献()、评估要求()和人们如何理解评估()之间建立联系,我们提出了一个 CT 评估框架,以反映应试者如何体验评估()。我们的研究有助于在EAP口语背景下对CT进行更细致的概念化,从而对EAP口语测试的发展产生影响。

Towards a framework of critical thinking for assessing EAP speaking

As one of the fundamental skills of the 21st century, critical thinking (CT) is a topic of considerable interest within the domain of assessing English for academic purposes (EAP). Recent literature on EAP instruction and assessment indicates that EAP has evolved beyond a strict focus on language improvement to encompass discourse competence and broader academic literacy development, with CT playing an important role in academic communication. A fundamental consideration in educational assessment is the construct that defines the knowledge, skills, or abilities to be assessed. However, CT has not received due attention in the research literature on EAP speaking assessment, thus raising a legitimate concern about its underrepresentation in the academic speaking construct. This study draws on Macqueen's (2022) distinction between theoretical, stated, perceived, and operationalized assessment constructs, with an aim to describe the EAP speaking assessment construct by including the concept of CT. By establishing alignment between what the literature indicates (theoretical), what assessment requires (stated), and how people understand assessment (perceived), a CT assessment framework is proposed to reflect how test takers experience it (operationalized). Our study contributes to a more nuanced conceptualization of CT in the context of EAP speaking, with implications for EAP speaking test development.
