Alternative of Testing Reading Comprehension

The Chinese educators are having a growing concern about the emerging inconsistency between Chinese students high score in tests and low ability to use the language. An evaluation tool of learning testing has a backwash effect on teaching as well. Thus the testing tools should be reformed so that they may have a positive backwash on teaching. An alternative way of testing reading comprehension, i.e., completing the passage outline, was researched. The result of the experiment shows that the new item is of high reliability and validity. Compared with the traditional testing method, it may also reflect the cognitive process of the testees so it is helpful for the tester to diagnose the mistakes.
