Abstract

Business Culture is a distinctive course within the professional-knowledge module, emphasizing practical knowledge rather than language-use skills. At H University’s Department of Chinese Language, the final examination for this course has been designed for computer-based delivery. Guided by the course objectives and course learning outcomes, this study outlines the overall structure of the exam and details the item-writing process. A 50-item objective test matrix was developed with two alternative schemes: Scheme 1 comprises four item types while Scheme 2 comprises two item types. For each, the standards for stems and answer choices are specified in line with instructional content. The paper also analyzes the effectiveness of the trial testand proposes directions for improvement.
