据高等教育内幕网站(Inside Higher Education)最新报道,ETS正在考虑在受新冠病毒感染的国家和地区开辟在家考托福这种形式。
The Educational Testing Service is planning a Test of English as a Foreign Language that can be taken from home for those in countries where the coronavirus has made in-person testing impossible.
ETS托福项目执行总监Srikant Gopal表示,目前在家考托福这种形式预计3月底会在中国大陆以外的部分考点首先试行。同时,ETS也在和教育部考试中心紧密合作,尽快在中国大陆考区实现这一形式。此外,Gopal还表示,托福考试无论是在家考,还是在考点考,都会保证测评的质量和有效性。
"We are targeting this solution to be introduced by the end of March in selected locations outside Mainland China. ETS is also working closely with the relevant government agencies in Mainland China on ways to launch this solution there as soon as possible," said a memo on the new test by Srikant Gopal, executive director of the TOEFL program. "We understand the pressure many institutions are under to come up with alternate ways of assessing English-language proficiency during this time, even if they do not meet high standards for assessment quality or security. This TOEFL testing solution from ETS will ensure you don't need to compromise your standards. It's still the high-quality, research-based test you know and trust that meets ETS's high standards for validity, reliability and security."
据了解,在家线上测试版托福考试将增加更多的保密安全措施,如规避作弊行为或试题泄露等等,但官方目前尚未透露更多信息。
A spokeswoman for ETS declined to say what security measures would be added to the at-home version of the test.
