章节摘录

　　v The time to be spent on each task should be clearly indicated on the testpaper and the invigilators should encourage students to comply with the instructions.　In writing we are also concerned with time available： the speed at which processing must take place， the length of time available to write， normal time constraints， whether it is an exam or an assignment to hand in， and the number of revisions or drafts allowed， i.e.， the process element. Out side of examination essays， in the real world， writing tasks would not be timed at all and students would be allowed maximum opportunity and access to resources for demonstrating their writing abilities. There are， as we know，many difficulties in fully replicating reality. Considerations such as time constraints， scoring validity and test security requirements make longer，processoriented tests impractical in most situations （see Chapter 7 fordiscussion of this in relation to portfolio assessment）.　The texts we get candidates to produce obviously have to be long enough for them to be marked reliably. If we want to establish whet her a student canorganize a written product into a coherent whole， length is obviously a key factor. As regards an appropriate time for completion of productoriented writing tasks in an actual examination setting， Jacobs etal. （1981： 19）， in the irresearch on the Michigan Composition Test， found that a time allowance of30 minutes probably gave most students enough time to produce an adequatesample of their writing ability.
