ABSTRACT

In this study, the reliability and validity of the listening section of a sophomore monthly examination paper in a high school in Anhui Province were assessed and item analysis was conducted. The analysis revealed that the listening test has low reliability but good validity. The listening test is simple and does not have a high degree of differentiation. Most of the questions were not of high quality and the same type of questions appeared several times. In general, the listening test is not satisfactory in all aspects except validity, and the quality of the questions should be further improved to balance the reliability and validity and to improve the rationality of the listening test.
