摘　　要：Little research has been conducted on Oral English course exams for tertiary-level English major students in China. Issues found in recent surveys of teachers and students of Oral English classes at four universities suggest that the Oral English course exam needs a theoretical model to ensure its reliability and validity and hence to better lead students' learning of spoken English. Applying language testing theories and using ethnographic methodologies, this paper attempts to propose such a model through discussing the problematic issues in current practice in Oral English course exams and defining the targeted oral English abilities to be examined.针对我国高校英语专业口语课程考试中存在的诸多问题,本文对四所大学英语专业口语课近百名师生进行了问卷调查及访谈。研究结果显示,英语口语课程考试急需一种理论模式指导以确保其效度和信度,从而有助于学生口语水平的提高。本文以问题为出发点,应用语言测试理论,对英语专业学生应该考核的英语口语能力和水平作出科学界定,提出由八项观测参数组成的多维检测语言表达准确性、流利性和恰当性的英语口语课程考试理论模式。
