This paper discussed and is trying to find out the particularity and characteristics of English teaching at minority regions in consideration of the influencing factors: trilingual teaching, small classes, fewer students. The measurement of constructs of English classroom examination at mi-nority regions is put forward. The tech-niques used in this paper are trying to keep pace with the advances in psycho-metric theory and methods. This paper presents an example of applying item re-sponse theory to English classroom ex-aminations at minority regions and demonstrates graded response models.
