制定汉语作为第二语言的能力标准的初步构想

Developing the Benchmarks for Chinese as a Second Language Proficiency

本文在评述国内外第二语言能力标准的基础上,提出了制定汉语作为第二语言的能力标准的初步构想。汉语能力标准的制定应遵循科学、全面、实用和兼容的原则,具体落实在量表的性质认定、语言能力结构分析以及与欧洲共同参考框架兼容等问题上。此外,文章还讨论了制定能力标准的具体方法与步骤,探讨了建立以描述语指标库为主体,以水平测验和语法、字词大纲为辅助工具的汉语能力标准基本框架。

This paper reviews the history of foreign language proficiency guidelines and presents the principles and methods for developing the benchmarks for Chinese as a Second Language proficiency. Chinese language proficiency benchmarks should be scientific, comprehensive, practical and compatible with CEFR. We also discuss the methods and steps for developing the benchmarks, including the can-do statements database, proficiency tests, grammar outlines and vocabulary.
