摘要

文献调查表明,扎根理论方法论在语言测试领域的应用并不多见。然而,本研究使用GTM对斐济一年级本科生的写作技巧进行了研究。这项研究使用欧洲共同参考框架(CEFR)成功地评估了斐济一所大学学生的写作技能。CEFR是最全面的语言评估框架之一,已被西方国家的语言测试机构广泛使用。本文采取方法论的立场,而不是从研究中寻找经验数据,以吸引GTM的新手用户将其应用于语言学领域,特别是语言测试研究。它提供了一步一步的指导和相关文献的讨论,证明GTM在语言学中的使用。该研究在方法论上的贡献和独特的数据集将推动关于这一主题的学术和社会政策对话。该研究对如何将扎根理论研究方法应用于纵向语言测试研究背景的知识体系做出了原创性贡献。目前,高等教育中的语言测试依赖于传统的形成性和规范性评估数据。扎根理论和纵向研究设计等方法很少被使用。这篇论文将使硕士和博士学者等新手研究人员以及政策制定者在将该方法应用到他们的研究中受益。

Application of Grounded Theory Methodology Using CEFR in the Field of Language Testing
The use of grounded theory methodology (GTM) is rare in the field of language testing as indicated by the literature survey. However, this study used GTM in a study on first year undergraduate students writing skills in Fiji. The study used the Common European Framework for Reference (CEFR) to evaluate student writing skills successfully at a university in Fiji. The CEFR is one of the most comprehensive frameworks for language evaluation that has been widely used by language testing organisations mostly in Western countries. This paper takes a methodological position rather than looking at empirical data from the research to engage novice users of GTM to apply it to the field of linguistics, specifically to language testing research. It provides step-by-step guide and a discussion of relevant literature that attest to the use of GTM in linguistics. The methodological contributions and the unique data set of the study will advance scholarly and social policy conversations on this topic. The study makes an original contribution to the body of knowledge on how grounded theory research methodologies can be applied to a longitudinal language testing research context. At present, language testing in higher education relies on data from conventional formative and normative assessments. Approaches such as grounded theory and longitudinal research design have rarely been used. The paper will benefit novice researchers such as Masters and PhD scholars as well as policy makers in applying the methodology to their studies.
