【摘要】 当前,作为一种新兴的评价方式,档案袋评价和传统的考核方式一起作用于语言教学领域。自20世纪80年代以来,有关于实施档案袋评价的研究在国内外广泛展开。然而,国内有关档案袋评价研究的焦点大多集中在基础教育领域,高等教育领域的相关研究尚未完全展开。鉴于此,该研究旨在调查档案袋评价在大学英语教学中的使用现状,在英语学习中起到的作用,以及相对于传统考核方式的优势。问卷调查在山东省一所重点大学的158名非英语专业学生中展开,随后对其中的10名学生进行了访谈。研究表明,虽然档案袋作为一种评价手段已经广泛地应用于英语学习,学生们对此却持有不同的观点。通过调查可以发现:在使用档案袋的过程中,大多数学生能够做到目标明确,进行自我评估,能够主动地审视英语学习中存在的缺点以及取得的进步,并且设定一定的学习目标并为之而制定具体的计划来实施。同时,大多数的学生认为,虽然档案袋对于培养自主学习能力的作用不大,但所发挥的积极作用不容忽视。例如,档案袋的使用能够帮助他们反馈学习进度,使用的过程不仅提升了学习中的满足感和成就感,还有利于良好学习习惯的培养。此外,学生们对于档案袋评价和传统考核方式看法不尽相同。一些人认为相对于传统考核方式,档案袋在评价学生英语水平方面不够全面,另外有学生则认为,这种评价方式使语言学习更加灵活和自由,因而更倾向于使用档案袋评价。基于相关的理论和实践研究,随后对研究发现进行了讨论,主要围绕着档案袋评价英语学习带来的益处、档案袋使用中存在的问题、以及这种评价方式的优势等方面展开。为了使档案袋评价更好地服务于大学英语教学,本文还提出了专业性指导与合作性反馈等建议。最后对该研究存在的不足进行了总结,并提出相应的改进建议,便于今后进一步开展其它研究。
【Abstract】 Compared with traditional tests, portfolio assessment has been considered a new and alternate assessment instrument in language teaching and learning. Ever since the 1980s, many studies have been conducted to investigate the implementation of portfolio assessment home and abroad. In China, however, studies on this issue are mainly focused on elementary education rather than on higher education. Given such gaps, this study is aimed at investigating the use of portfolio assessment in College English teaching and learning to explore the status quo of portfolio employment, the role it plays, and what advantages it has compared with traditional tests.A questionnaire survey was conducted among 158 non-English majors from a key university in Shandong Province. Subsequently ten of them were interviewed. Results of the study show that though portfolio has been widely employed as an assessment tool, the status quo of its development varies from person to person. As reflected in the present study, most students self-evaluated their work and behaved highly-motivated in the construction process since they reflected on their strengths and weaknesses, evaluated their progress, set achievable goals and made specific plans to achieve these objectives. A large number of students reported that portfolio played a positive role in their English study for the reason that the use of portfolio helped them have the reflection of learning, increased sense of enjoyment and achievement, and cultivation of good learning habit despite that it did not contribute much to autonomous learning. In addition, when contrasting portfolio assessment with traditional tests, students had different attitudes towards it. Some considered that portfolio assessment is not as comprehensive as traditional tests in assessing one’s English proficiency, whereas some other students preferred portfolio to traditional tests in that they enjoyed more flexibility and more freedom in the process of language learning.Based on relevant theories and previous studies, the results of the study are discussed from the angles of the benefits of portfolio assessment in English learning, problems of portfolio development, and advantages of portfolio assessment over traditional tests. In order to make full use of portfolio assessment to better serve College English teaching and learning, suggestions like implications for professional instructions, and implications for cooperative feedback are later presented. Meanwhile, the limitations of this study are summarized, and correspondingly the suggestions for future studies are provided with the hope of paving the way for more studies.
