| HSK takes the initiative as the exam of Chinese as a second language,having done great contribution to promote Chinese language as well as teaching Chinese as a second language in the world.As required by norm homogeneity,MHK sprang out from HSK in 2004.Likewise, this paper aims to justify theoretically the necessity to design the exam of Chinese as a second language for the overseas Chinese.It is specifically narrowed to reading test,with the following major points:1.For the accuracy of the test,this paper has developed the concept "reading test unit",on the basis of my understanding of the current one.A set of reading test units has been made:sampling unit,answering unit and context unit.2.This paper gives a detailed analysis of the process of morpheme sampling,with morpheme as the stimulus unit.Guided by the overall goal and the theory of semantic grammar and sampling,a sampling system is made,with multi-levels and uneven probability;and consequently a reliable morpheme sample has come out.3.This paper also covers the principle guiding Chinese reading test for overseas Chinese,test paper structure and the relationship between morpheme sample,answering unit and context test.4.A reading test paper has been designed.The principle of the paper is "minimum context, combination of reading and character writing,and mostly single character as the blank unit";the sampling unit being morphemes;blanks-filling being the basic exercise;and paper structure based on the three context units.On requirement of the new test patterns and of objective scoring, an assisting tool has been developed:Character Card. |
