Kazakhstan National University for Nationalities held the HSK test for the last time of the year on December 2, 2012. 12 examination rooms were set up for 280 students and society people from Alma-Ata and colleges of the South of KZ. They took different levels of tests from Level 2 to Level 6. It is a record high of the people registering and taking the tests.
Among the examinees, there are enrolled students and on-the job teachers of Chinese as well. They are of different ages, different years of Chinese learning backgrounds ranging from three months to over ten years. Some of them have known and learnt Chinese from their childhood, while some of them are middle school students just know a little bit of Chinese language.
In order to ensure the smooth going of this HSK test, our faculties made careful preparations. At the time of examination registration, we worked closely with the local faculties and made a widespread promotion. We also helped students to register correctly with their personal information. Before the examination taking place, we checked all the facilities and train test supervisors to make sure everything will work well.
In 2012, the number of people taking HSK has been doubled. It shows an increasing importance of HSK tests in Kazakhstan and it has already become an important way of testing one’s Chinese language level. The examinees told us that with a HSK certificate would help them find a better job and pursue studies in China. With a strengthening cooperation of many fields between China and Kazakhstan, a growing demand of Chinese language talents can be seen everywhere.
