Abstract

This study intends to design a final achievement test for an introductory English pronunciation course for English majors in Mainland China. The paper firstly clarifies contexts, purposes and learning targets of the test. Then the assessment methods are justified with regard to validity, reliability, practicality and washback. The paper concludes with a discussion of the potential impacts the test may bring.
