I. Level setting

According to the CEFR standard, Korean language proficiency is divided into six levels from A1 to C2. The ability description and vocabulary requirements of each level are as follows:

2. Examination content

2. B1-B2: Add news, stories, lectures and other content. The speaking speed is moderate. The questions include fill-in-the-blank questions and short answer questions to test the ability of detail retrieval and induction.

3. C1-C2: Academic lectures, original sound of films and TV shows are used. The speaking rate is fast, involving professional terms and complex sentences. Logical relationships and deep meanings are examined through multiple choice questions and listening review questions.

(2) Oral expression

3. C1-C2: Writing of argumentative essays and academic reports, with clear viewpoints, sufficient evidence and clear logic (such as "The Influence of Korean Culture on the World"), which examines advanced language skills and depth of thought.

(5) Grammar and vocabulary

Independent modules: multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions and other forms are used to test Korean grammar rules (such as particles, suffixes, phonetic rules) and vocabulary application ability, covering the grammar priorities of each level (such as noun conjugation in A1, complex clauses in B2).

3. Examination form

1. Listening, written test and grammar vocabulary: online computer test, time-limited completion, automatic timing and paper collection by the system, support for special Korean character input (such as "ㅎ", "ㅠ", "ㅜ"), virtual keyboard or shortcut key switch (such as Microsoft IME input method in Windows).

2. Oral test: real-time video call, scored by Korean native examiner, or assisted by intelligent oral assessment system, focusing on pronunciation accuracy, fluency and grammatical correctness.

Iv. Scoring criteria

1. Listening, reading and grammar vocabulary: objective questions are graded according to the correct or incorrect answers, and subjective questions are graded according to the completeness of key points, language accuracy and other dimensions, and are evaluated by teachers manually.

2. Speaking: quantified scores are given in terms of pronunciation (30%), fluency (30%), grammar (20%), vocabulary (10%), and content (10%), based on the TOPIK speaking test criteria.

3. Writing: the score is 100 points in three aspects: content (clear point of view, sufficient evidence), structure (clear logic) and language (rich vocabulary, correct grammar). Each module should reach more than 60 points to pass.

4. Total score: 100 points for each subject, and 55 points or above for the average score. Students with weak subjects but qualified for the total score are allowed to pass.

V. Examination schedule

1. Regular exams: All levels of exams will be organized at fixed times every quarter (such as April, July and October), and the plan will be announced two months in advance to facilitate candidates' preparation.

2. Test on the go: For A1-A2 level, candidates will be arranged to take the test within 7 days after successful registration, with flexible options.

Certification and Cooperation

2. Validity of the result: The certificate is valid for life. Those who fail in a single subject can take a make-up exam within 1 year, and the result will be retained until the next test.

Vii. Technical support

1. Anti-cheating measures: Camera monitoring, screen recording, browser locking and other technologies are used to identify abnormal behaviors (such as screen cutting and voice interference) with AI algorithm to ensure the fairness of the exam.

2. Special character support: The test system is compatible with Korean input, providing virtual keyboard or shortcut key switch (such as "Alt+Shift" to switch input method), ensuring that candidates can answer questions smoothly.

3. Oral training: Improve practical ability through role-playing, simulated oral test by foreign teachers, and correct pronunciation by referring to Forvo pronunciation dictionary.

Variation processing

1. Accent coverage: The listening material is mixed with Seoul standard pronunciation and other Korean accents (such as North Korea, Yanbian), and the writing part accepts standard Korean spelling habits.

2. Cultural neutrality: Avoid regional bias in reading and writing topics, take into account the cultural background of Korea and other Korean-speaking countries, and ensure that the content of the test is neutral.
