TOCFL Exam
The Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language(TOCFL)is established by the Ministry of Education to become a certified and standard assessment of Mandarin proficiency. The new version of the TOCFL has three proficiency bands: Band A, Band B, and Band C. Each of the bands has two levels. Therefore, there are a total of six levels: Levels 1 to 6. The items on the test of each level are 50 multiple choice items, to be answered in 60 minutes. Test takers can choose the test levels best suited to them based on their Chinese language proficiency and learning background.
In April 2008, Feng Chia University hosted its first TOP examination with over 300 students signed up in the Central region. For more information about the test, visit the TOCFL website.
When you have finished your study here at the Language Center, a certificate by the TOCFL may come in handy to certify your Mandarin proficiency when applying for a job or university.
