摘要

Over 50 colleges witnessed the recent trial implementation of computer-mediatedSpoken College English Test (SCET),in which retelling was adopted as one of thenew test items. This reform highlights the second attempt to use retelling in the fieldof high-stake language tests after the Spoken Test for English Majors--Band Four(STEM-4). To research into the validity of retelling as a test item on the basis of thefour aspects of test validity proposed by Lyle Bachman,this paper covers a discussionon the construct validity,content validity,criterion related validity and face validity ofretelling. The author has designed a retelling test and gathered a high Pearson linearcoefficient (r=0.708) between the term scores and the retelling scores of the twoexperimental groups,and by comparing the lecturers' ranks and retelling ranks,aneven higher Spearman's correlation coefficient (rs=0.814) was obtained. These twocoefficients are convincing indicators of high concurrent criterion-related validity ofretelling. In terms of face validity,the researcher explored the stakeholders' opinionsby distributing questionnaires modeled with 5-Point Likert Scale,revealing amoderate supportive attitude (mean>3.0). The paper has concluded that retelling canbe used as an efficient and integrative oral test item for advanced non-English majors.
