La reforma universitaria de Bolonia ha proporcionado nuevas razones para modificar el actual formato, ya que la mayoría de los exámenes internacionales de reconocido prestigio incluyen secciones orales con tareas de comprensión y expresión. Recientemente la Universidad de Alcalá (Madrid) recibió fondos para proponer y experimentar con un nuevo formato a través del proyecto OPENPAU. Este artículo justifica la introducción de la Evaluación Final de Bachillerato en lengua inglesa en términos de un rediseño de tareas en línea con el Enfoque Comunicativo y el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia, que también tome en cuenta las características distintivas de un test de lenguas de manera que sea válido y útil (validez del constructo, fiabilidad, impacto, practicidad y gestión de la calidad). Además, proporciona sólidas sugerencias para la puesta en marcha de un examen informatizado que podría realizarse a través de dispositivos móviles. El artículo finaliza con el convencimiento de que esta nueva evaluación puede servir para superar las deficiencias de la prueba actual si se llevan a cabo estudios rigurosos y las decisiones alcanzadas se apoyan en la investigación realizadaMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación20132013-12-15journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10017/57652reponame:e_Buah Biblioteca Digital Universidad de Alcaláinstname:Universidad de Alcalá (UAH)InglésengMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100004837 Programa Nacional de Investigación Fundamental FFI2011-22442 ORIENTACION, PROPUESTAS Y ENSEÑANZA PARA LA SECCION DE INGLES EN LA PRUEBA DE ACCESO A LA UNIVERSIDADopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ebuah.uah.es:10017/576522026-06-18T11:13:07Z

description The current English section of the University Entrance Examination (PAU) has kept the same format for twenty years. The Bologna process has provided new reasons to vary its current format, since the majority of international reputed tests usually include oral sections with both listening and speaking tasks. Recently the Universidad de Alcalá (Madrid) was granted the funds to suggest and experiment the new format through the OPENPAU project. This paper justifies the introduction of the Spanish Baccalaureate Final Evaluation in terms of a re-design of the tasks in line with the Communicative Approach and the Common European Framework of Reference and also taking into account the distinctive features of a language test in order to be valid and useful (construct validity, reliability, impact, practicality and quality management). Furthermore, it provides sound suggestions for a computer-based delivery which could be done through the use of mobile devices. The article concludes with the belief that the new diploma may serve to overcome the deficiencies of the current exam if rigorous studies are undertaken and research-based decisions are reached.
