  • A Cefr-Based Computerized Adaptive Testing System for Chinese Proficiency
    TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology – October 2012, volume 11 Issue 4 A CEFR-BASED COMPUTERIZED ADAPTIVE TESTING SYSTEM FOR CHINESE PROFICIENCY Hsuan-Po Wang Affiliation: Graduate Institute of Educational Measurement and Statistic University: National Taichung University of Education, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] Prof. Bor-Chen Kuo Affiliation: Graduate Institute of Educational Measurement and Statistic University: National Taichung University of Education, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] Prof. Ya-Hsun Tsai Affiliation: College of International Studies and Education for Overseas Chinese University: National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] Prof. Chen-Huei Liao Affiliation: Department of Special Education University: National Taichung University of Education, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In the era of globalization, the trend towards learning Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) has become increasingly popular worldwide. The increasing demand in learning CFL has raised the profile of the Chinese proficiency test (CPT). This study will analyze in depth the inadequacy of current CPT’s utilizing the common European framework of reference (CEFR) for language learning, teaching, and assessment to develop a set of reliability and validity standards for a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) CPT system. Actual performance of computerized tests will simulate the empirical data via the CAT system process and assess the efficacy of this system. Keywords: Chinese Proficiency Test, Common European Framework of Reference, Computerized Adaptive Testing INTRODUCTION With the growing demand of learning Chinese as a foreign language (CFL), the development and utility of the proficiency test for “non-native Chinese” learners is essential, particularly, countries that are in the preliminary stage of promoting CFL courses in the educational institutions and organizations.
