AbstractThis study investigates how L2 (second language) student writers responded to SFL (systemic functional linguistics)-based training that was designed to assist them in harnessing meaning-making knowledge to evaluate their classmates’ essays. Conducted in a Chinese college expository writing course and based on qualitative analyses of three students’ interviews, their written feedback, as well as their reflections over one semester, the study shows that the students’ adjustment to the training occurred in a dynamic and interrelated manner. That is, along with constant teacher support and their increased knowledge gained from SFL-based training, the students transcended the limitations of their prior knowledge, which merely entailed giving feedback at the level of structural accuracy in L2 writing. They were able to gradually embrace meaning-making knowledge, although not yet fully developed. With this knowledge, they evaluated their classmates’ essays to determine if the writing content fitted the demands of valued academic compositions, such as whether and how the grammar and vocabulary were used correctly in context.

本論では、教室で実施される客観テストに使用される問題の作成に必要な3つのステップを紹介する。具体的には、1. カリキュラム全体のゴールや学習行動目標の決定と構成概念の構築を含むテスト準備、2. テスト細目表の作成、3. 問題作成である。評価は授業と密接につながっており、授業は学習行動目標が反映されていなければならない。したがって、学習行動目標なしにテスト作成はできない。さらに、構成概念や授業で学習したユニットやトピックをバランスよく測定するにはテスト細目表が非常に便利である。テスト細目表とは、学習行動目標とトピック等の内容を二方向に1つの表にまとめたものである。最後に、テスト問題を作成するにあたって言語やフォーマット関連等の様々な注意点を紹介する。 This paper introduces three important steps for writing items in objective tests used in classroom-contexts; namely, preparing for the test, which includes writing course goals and objectives and defining the construct, making a table of specifications, and writing items. Because assessment is deeply intertwined with instruction, which reflects pre-determined course goals and objectives, tests cannot be developed without instructional goals and objectives. Furthermore, in order to assess constructs and units/topics covered in the class in a balanced manner, a table of specifications, which is a two-way chart that lists both the instructional objectives and test content, is an important tool. Finally, several tips for developing items are introduced.
