摘要

长期以来,语言能力测试在全球移民中既扮演着推动者的角色,也扮演着障碍的角色。本文概述了加拿大和其他传统移民目的地国家如何在移民、庇护和重新安置以及公民身份方面使用英语水平测试。它确定了这三个相关迁移领域之间的共性,以及通常嵌入在所要求的测试分数中的隐蔽值。它确定了在Shohamy(2001)的关键语言测试的保护伞下进行研究的不同方法,并总结了针对加拿大环境的语言测试研究和倡导建议。

English-Language Proficiency Requirements for Migration to Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and the Implications for Language Testing Research
Language proficiency testing has long played a role as both facilitator and barrier in global migration. This paper outlines how Canada and other traditional migrant destination countries use English-language proficiency testing for immigration, asylum and resettlement, and citizenship. It identifies commonalities between these three related areas of migration and the covert values that are often embedded in the required test scores. It identifies different approaches for conducting research under the umbrella of Shohamy’s (2001) Critical Language Testing and concludes with language testing research and advocacy suggestions specific to the Canadian context.
