Abstract

Taking a final college English test for non-English majors as an example, this study describes the design and content of the test against the framework of China’s Standards of English Language Ability. 363 test takers are selected as samples and SPSS software is used to analyze the quality of the test from perspectives of reliability, validity, difficulty and discrimination. The results show that the overall quality of the test is good, but the type and difficulty of some test items need to be improved and adjusted. The paper also provides a positive exploration and experiment for the application of China’s Standards of English Language Ability in college English assessment. Moreover, the paper provides guidance for the the alignment of the China’s Standards of English Language Ability with the school-based English test of the author’s university.
