What changes?
Examination basis：
Standard for Chinese Proficiency in International Chinese Language Education
Changes:
- The first is to reflect the uniqueness of Chinese language, determine syllables, characters, vocabulary, grammar of the four-dimensional language quantitative index system, in order to accurately anchor learners’ Chinese level.
- Secondly, according to the practice that Chinese teaching and learning progress are divided into “elementary, middle and high“, and the habit that international language standards such as CEFR and ACTFL are divided into three stages: primary, intermediate and advanced. Combined with the current situation of overseas learners and HSK examination, the new standard is divided into three levels and nine levels. Compared with the HSK test requirements, it not only increases the syllables and Chinese characters, but also greatly improves the vocabulary, especially the vocabulary requirements of higher grades 7-9.
- The third is to learn from widely recognized language learning theories, especially Bachmann’s communicative language competence model, combined with the characteristics of Chinese, and adopt three language level dimensions (language quantitative index, verbal communication competence and topic task content) and five skill dimensions (listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating) for each level. That is, the new path of “3+5” provides a comprehensive, three-dimensional and systematic description of learners’ Chinese level.
Note: the specific changes shall be subject to the official announcement.
