Research on Computer-Aided English Language Evaluation System

Abstract

With the rapid development of science and technology, computer-aided language teaching and testing has become an inevitable trend in the development of English language teaching and research. With the continuous popularization of online courses, all kinds of examinations have adopted computer-aided examinations, and CET-4 has also begun to implement computer tests. Computer aided teaching refers to the use of computers as a tutor, presenting information, providing students with opportunities for practice, evaluating students’ grades and providing additional teaching. With the development of multimedia technology and communication network technology, all individualized teaching technologies with computer as the core are called the application of information technology in education. It is dedicated to the establishment of a three-dimensional foreign language learning environment supported by modern educational technology, and aims to improve the quality of foreign language teaching in a more scientific and effective way. According to statistics, there are still few computer-based college English language testing systems. The existing systems are mainly designed and developed around the CET-4 examination, and the functions are monotonous, only serving the examination. It can not help and promote students’ learning. Testing and evaluation is a unity with different functions in teaching. Only test without evaluation, examination can not play a positive role in teaching. The test only determines the learning level of language learners, and the test results themselves can not fully reflect the specific problems, because if there is no information to explain the results, the examination can not be given for analysis and feedback. It is difficult to guide teachers’ teaching and students’ learning. In view of the above disadvantages, this study intends to establish a computer-aided English language evaluation system from the perspective of the combination of language testing and evaluation. The system has many similarities with the existing CET-4 examination system, and has more complete functions, can meet the needs of the development trend of foreign language teaching, and has great attraction to students and teachers. It can not only provide students with simulated examinations, but also help students analyze test results and check problems. The computer-aided language assessment system is fast, efficient, timely and objective.
