COMPLEX TECHNOLOGY OF COMPUTER TESTING IN RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Problem and goal. At present, with the massive spread of computer technology and the growth of interest in the Russian language, by the citizens of foreign countries, is not developed and implemented in the Head and local testing centers in Russian as a foreign language (RCT) system of computer testing, not widely used modern methods and programs of statistical analysis of the results of computer testing and quality assessment of rehearsal and examination tests. Methodology. Two options developed by the authors of complex technologies «Tester» (the program “the Banker”, “Tester”, “Token”, “Statinfo”) and “Trester” (program “Protocol”, “Tsclient”, “Trester”, “Tranform”, “Thorny”) for computer-based testing by RCTS. Both variants have been tested in centralized testing and in Russian universities, are complex and versatile, providing the entire cycle of work - from the preparation of computer tests, computer testing, data collection, performance of operational statistical analysis of test results and statistical analysis of the quality of test items. Results. In technology «Trester» the possibility to completely switch to computer testing or part of a subtest to spend on computers and some on the forms. Rehearsal and examination testing for RCT can be carried out on computers for all sub-tests (vocabulary and grammar, reading, listening, writing, speaking). Automated expert work to check and evaluate on the computer the results of unformalized subtests (writing and speaking). In the article, as examples, show the fragments of images on the display screen when working with complex programs “Trester”. Conclusion. The urgency of creating a complex system of computer testing for RCT is substantiated. Two options of the initiative they have developed complex technologies “Tester” and “Trester” for computer testing in RCTS.
