对新汉语水平考试的新思考

New Thinking on the New HSK

新汉语水平考试(HSK)自2009年11月实施以来,吸引了更多的考生来参加考试,考试规模有了更大的增长,对汉语国际推广工作起到了积极的推动作用。在两年多命题、考务及推广等方面的工作实践中,我们整理、总结了新HSK存在或遇到的一些问题,就考试政策制定、修订词汇、编制字表、怎样考查书面和口语表达能力、听力和阅读速度、成绩报告等方面,提出了一些新的思考,希望能为新HSK将来的改进提供参考。

The New HSK has attracted more and more candidates since it was launched in November 2009, which plays an important role in the international promotion of Chinese. In this paper, we summarize some of the problems on item writing, test administration and promotion that we have met during the last two years, and put forward some new thinking on the examination policy, vocabulary revising, character list-making, testing methods of writing and speaking, speed of listening and reading, and score reporting. We hope this paper would supply more references to the improvement of the New HSK in the future.
