摘要

The CET 4 writing test is widely used in China,but whether it is a more reliable and valid test ofwriting for CET 4 than other methods of evaluation is still not clear.The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and the validity of a modification of this test.In carrying out the study,a total of 60 Band 4 students in Zhejiang University took the modified test,aCET 4 test and a First Certificate Practice Test.The results of this study demonstrate that themodified version is a significantly more reliable and valid writing test than the present CET 4 writingtest.These results suggest that the CET 4 writing test needs modification.
