Study on the Applicability of the Self-assessment Scale for Pragmatic Competence of College English Learners
The evaluation of pragmatic competence is important for promoting pragmatic teaching and learning,but the existing evaluation tools are not rich enough.Therefore,it is significant to proactively explore the applicability of self-assessment scales for pragmatic competence.A questionnaire survey and test were conducted for 483 higher education students ranging from specialists to postgraduates,439 valid data were obtained,and Rasch model was used to carry out a specific study in terms of validity validation and item function bias.The results showed that the self-assessment scale has good reliability,validity and discriminability,and its 28 descriptors do not show significant bias in terms of language proficiency.However,there are several descriptors with significant bias in terms of gender and major.Therefore,it was suggested that the bias of certain items should be reconsidered in the future application of the self-assessment scale for pragmatic competence to ensure its fairness.
