近日ETS宣布将在2019年8月1日进行托福改革,考试时间缩短。那么,为什么托福考试时间缩短了? 以下是ETS官方给予的答复。
Why is the TOEFL iBT® test being shortened?
我们的目标一直是要提供最好的学术英语测试,既为参加考试的学生,也为依赖于分数作出重要决定的机构。
Our goal has always been to provide the best academic English test, both for students who take the test and for institutions that rely on the scores to make important decisions.
对于考生来说,缩短的托福考试会创造一个更好的考试体验。它能够减少疲劳并提升专注度和表现,帮助他们展现他们最好的一面。
For test takers, a shorter TOEFL iBT test will make for a better testing experience. It could lessen fatigue and improve focus and performance, helping them to show their best.
更重要的是,缩短的托福考试保持了它的品质。一个考试应该只需要长到能够准确提供它所衡量的关键能力的信息即可,但不能更长。长期以来,我们已经收集了大量的托福考试考生表现数据。经过仔细的数据分析,我们得出结论,这个考试可以在不牺牲考试质量和分数有效性的前提下缩短。通过各种统计程序和高级测评技术的应用得以保持考试的品质。
Most important, the shorter test maintains its quality. A test should only be as long as is necessary to provide accurate information about the critical abilities being measured, but not longer. Over time we have been able to gather a wealth of TOEFL iBT test taker performance data. After careful review of the data, we have determined the test can be shortened without sacrificing test quality or score validity. This was done by applying research to maintain test quality through various statistical procedures and application of advanced assessment technology.
