Posted on: Apr 23, 2018
The Centre for Chinese Studies (CCS) administered the Chinese Language Proficiency International Test (HSK) on Sunday April 22, 2018 at Âé¶¹Ô´´.
The HSK is an international standardized exam that tests and rates Chinese language proficiency. It assesses non-native Chinese speakers’ abilities in using the Chinese language in their daily, academic and professional lives. HSK level 1 to level 6 is equivalent to A1 to C2 level in CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). The levels of the HSK correspond to the levels of the CEFR as follows:
| HSK | Vocabulary | CEF |
| HSK (Level VI) | Over 5,000 | C2 |
| HSK (Level V) | 2500 | C1 |
| HSK (Level IV) | 1200 | B2 |
| HSK (Level III) | 600 | B1 |
| HSK (Level II) | 300 | A2 |
| HSK (Level I) | 150 | A1 |
12 participants from post-secondary institutions and the public challenged HSK test, among which 5 are from Âé¶¹Ô´´, including students from CHIN 102 taught by Dr. Xinxin Fang and Chinese Course for Public taught by Ms. Rachel Wang. All the Âé¶¹Ô´´ students passed their tests and received International Certificates for Chinese Language Proficiency.
