摘要：Testing and teaching are so closely related that it is virtually impossible to work in either area without being constantly concerned with the other. Testing must accompany English teaching and reflect how much English knowledge students have grasped in a certain phase of English study. Tests should be constructed primarily to reinforce learning, to motivate students, and to assess students’ performance in language acquisition. Thus, it is necessary for instructors to design tests according to the features of the college English intensive reading course in order for validity and reliability to occur.
