摘要

生成式人工智能的快速发展为外语测试资源的开发提供了新的技术路径。阅读是大学英语学习与语言能力评价的重要组成部分,也是大学英语四、六级考试的核心测试内容之一。因此,探索生成式人工智能辅助阅读测试资源开发具有重要的教学和测评价值。本研究考察生成式人工智能(ChatGPT)在大学英语四、六级阅读测试文本开发中的应用潜力,重点展开两类生成任务:一是以四、六级真题为参照,针对真题阅读的三种题型,分别生成相应层级的阅读测试文本;二是以大学英语教材课文为基础,将其改编成适用于四、六级三种题型的阅读测试文本。本研究从文本难度和词汇水平两个维度,将两类任务生成的文本与真题进行比较。结果表明,生成式人工智能能够基本按照目标层级和题型要求生成和改编文本,其文本难度和词汇水平与真题总体较为接近。本研究为生成式人工智能赋能外语阅读测试资源开发提供了实践启示。

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has offered a new technological approach for the development of resources for foreign language assessment. Reading is an essential component of college English learning and language proficiency assessment and constitutes a major part of the College English Test (CET). Therefore, exploring the use of GenAI in developing reading test resources has significant pedagogical and assessment value. This study investigates the potential of GenAI (ChatGPT) for developing reading test texts for CET-4 and CET-6 through two tasks. First, using authentic CET-4 and CET-6 reading texts as benchmarks, GenAI was employed to generate texts at the corresponding proficiency levels for three reading task types. Second, a text from a college English textbook was adapted into CET-4- and CET-6-level reading texts for the same three task types. The two sets of GenAI-generated texts were then compared with authentic CET texts in terms of text difficulty and vocabulary level. The results showed that GenAI was generally capable of generating and adapting reading texts according to specified proficiency levels and task requirements. The generated texts were broadly comparable to authentic CET texts in text difficulty and vocabulary level. This study offers practical implications for GenAI-powered foreign language reading test development.
