作为语言测试的设计者和使用者,我们一心想让自己设计的测试成为尽量最好的测量方法,所以我们总是试图将测试结果作绝对化的解释,也就是解释一个人被测试的语言能力所达到程度的无可辩驳的证据。这种做法是可以理解的,因为它确实能使我们的教育决策更加明确,并使研究结果更具说服力。但是我们知道,测试并不能完全地反映出我们所要测量的诸多语言能力,所以测试结果的解释必须永远谨慎从事。把这点铭记 As designers and users of language testing, we are bent on making the best we can design ourselves. Therefore, we always try to interpret the test results absolutely. That is to say, we can explain the language ability of a person to be tested Irrefutable evidence of the degree to which it has been attained. This approach is understandable because it does make our education decisions more explicit and makes the findings more convincing. But we know that testing does not fully reflect the many linguistic capabilities we are measuring, so the interpretation of test results must always be cautious. Remember this
