從考官點評角度看托福綜合口語評分標準和常見問題
托福綜合口語考官點評分析
下面是ETS考官對某考生口語第四題的點評,以此為例:
考官點評原文
“The speaker is fairly fluent and easy to comprehend. However, there is some hesitancy or choppiness, which ems to occur as she arches for ideas and do not becau of linguistic breakdown. In this respon, the speaker has more difficulty using effective pau structure. She has a tendency to complete one thought and immediately begin the next, wit
hout pausing in between. At times she then stops and restarts the next idea, giving a somewhat rambling quality to the respon. Minor but systematic grammatical errors occur but do not interfere with overall comprehensibility. The speaker states the woman’s problem clearly and with ea. Despite minor grammatical errors, she supports her opinion with fairly sophisticated reason.”
考官評分點分析
這段點評對廣闊考生極具參考價值,它告知了我們如何在自己發音及語言組織力量還有欠缺的狀況下照舊取得高分。這是對一篇high level的回答做出的點評。我們從評論中不難看出,考官對于這段口語還是心存不滿的,但是最終還是給了一個較高的分數。
不足之處:我們通過對于不足之處的分析能夠更清楚地了解ETS考官面對一道口語回答時會重點關注那些方面。
1. 流利程度。流利與否是第一項評分點。流利不僅僅是指我們的在回答過程中是不是消失了長時間的break或者是無話可說,同時也要求考生不要始終不停地重復同一個詞(這是一個特別常見的現象)甚至是重復剛才說的短語、句子。
2. 規律性。與寫作一樣,口語的回答也需要條理清楚,并且在說的時候要通過一些關聯詞將你聽到的內容進行整理復述,使得聽這段口語的人能夠很簡單就明白了你講的是什么,這樣就想他傳達了一個劇烈的信號:我聽懂了。在上面這段文字中,ETS的考官向我們推舉了一個方法“pau structure”,即在回答完一個內容的時候做一個小小的停頓,告知聽者,下一個內容/觀點要開頭了。這樣就可以彌補回答中規律詞的發音不準或者是誤用、漏用帶來的失分。
優勢之處:盡管這段回答中存在上述諸多的錯誤和不足,但是僅僅一下一點就足以力挽狂瀾,讓我們追回失分。
精確性:綜合口語考察的一個重點就是考試是不是能夠精確、完整地復述出conversation或lecture中的內容。這就是中國考生在綜合口語中最大的失分緣由。通過對點評的解讀,不難發覺,我們需要做的就是“state … clearly and with ea”。只要做到了這點,把題目要求你復述的內同清楚并以一種簡潔的方式說出來了,那么盡管你的回答中存在一些小小的語法錯誤(despite minor grammatical errors…),也不會影響取得高分。
