摘　　要：本研究采用内省法收集了24名英语专业四级口试评分员的口头报告,旨在以评分员的反应过程为证据,检验该考试的构念效度。研究结果表明:1)评分员使用了该考试规定的所有评分标准,说明该考试较好地体现了所要测量的构念;2)评分受到了与构念无关的因素影响,如任务类型和评分员背景,可能造成考试使用者对测试分数的曲解。本文据此提出了一个影响口试评分和分数解释的因素模型。Using introspection methods, 24 raters＇ verbal reports on their assessment of TEM4-Oral were collected as response data to test the construct validity of TEM4-Oral. Major findings include： 1 ） the raters applied all the assessment criteria that had been defined in the rating scale, which indicates that the test＇s construct validity is good; 2） task types and rater characteristics created variances that were irrelevant to the construct, which might result in misinterpretation of the test scores. A tentative model was thus proposed to account for the factors that affect oral test assessment and score interpretation.
