Course Overview
To encourage primary and secondary students whose first language is not Chinese to study the language, and to develop and raise their Chinese ability, Hanban (the Chinese National Office for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language) has, since 2004, brought together specialists in Chinese language teaching, linguistics, psychology and educational measurement from China and abroad. On the basis of extensive research into how Chinese is actually taught in schools overseas, they developed the new Youth Chinese Test (YCT).
Course Content
Candidates who pass YCT Level 1 can understand and use the most common Chinese words and sentences, and are equipped to study Chinese further. Candidates who pass YCT Level 2 can understand and use some very simple Chinese words and sentences, meeting basic communication needs. Candidates who pass YCT Level 3 can communicate simply and directly in Chinese on familiar everyday topics, reaching a strong elementary standard. Candidates who pass YCT Level 4 can use Chinese to handle basic communication tasks in daily life and study, and can cope with most situations they encounter when travelling in China.
Course Levels
The YCT has a written and a spoken component, which are independent of each other. The written test comprises YCT Level 1, YCT Level 2, YCT Level 3 and YCT Level 4; the spoken test comprises YCT (Elementary) and YCT (Intermediate), and is conducted as a recording.
