More students opt for Chinese proficiency test in Bangladesh

The number of Bangladesh students appearing in the HSK, Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi or the Chinese Proficiency Test, has shot up.

Scores of students on Saturday appeared in different levels of HSK examinations held at the Dhaka University Confucius Institute in Bangladesh capital Dhaka.

"Today we conducted HSK level 2, 3 and 4 examinations," Zhou Mingdong, director at Dhaka University Confucius Institute told Xinhua.

She said some 63 students from the Dhaka University Confucius Institute and other Bangladesh educational institutes appeared in the examinations Saturday.

She said more and more students have been showing interest to learn Chinese language and appear in different levels of HSK examinations to test their Chinese ability to face practical and real-life situations.

The Dhaka University Confucius Institute has become a prime destination for Chinese language learners, she said.

"We'll hold another HSK examination next month for students of other levels," she added.

The HSK, designed and developed by the HSK Center of Beijing Language and Culture University, is one of the most important academic testing systems in relation to Chinese language study around the world. Endit
