Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi(HSK)is a state-level standardized language test designed for non-native Chinese speakers,which has experienced two periods: the old and the new.The HSK,which was launched in 1984,has taken shape,but it has been criticized for its shortcomings,such as separation of teaching and testing,inappropriate difficulty and excessive vocabulary.In November 2009,Hanban/Confucius Institute officially launched the new HSK.Although the new HSK has been significantly improved in various fields,there is still a certain gap between it and the more mature language tests in other countries in the world,and further improvement is needed.The DELF/DALF test,Diploma of Study in French/Advanced Diploma in French,has been a key test of French proficiency around the world for many years and has been developed in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.The preparation of the new HSK to some extent refers to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages,which makes the two tests have a certain degree of commonality and basis for comparison.By comparing the reform contents of HSK and DELF/DALF,including the reform of speaking,listening,reading and writing,as well as the reform background and reform ideas of these two tests,it can be found that,as a more mature test,DELF/DALF is undergoing objectified and systematic change.And HSK gradually develops towards standardization and language communication.In addition to optimizing the test proposition,HSK also focuses on optimizing the teaching content of international Chinese education and innovating teaching methods through multiple means.The comparison and reference of French test and European language teaching experience is of practical significance for exploring the way of Chinese language teaching suitable for China,promoting the innovative development of international Chinese education and improving the quality of Chinese talent training. |
