1. Level setting

According to the European Common Language Reference Framework (CEFR) and the latest JLPT reform plan in 2025, Japanese proficiency is divided into six levels: A1-C2. The description of each level and vocabulary requirements are as follows:

2. Examination content

(1) Listening comprehension

1. A1-A2: slow speaking speed, content is daily conversation (such as shopping, greeting), short notice, questions include multiple choice, matching questions, focus on the understanding of basic vocabulary and simple sentence structure.

2. B1-B2: Add news, stories, lectures and other content. The speaking rate is moderate. The questions include fill-in-the-blank questions and short-answer questions, which 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, and professional terms and complex sentences are involved. Logical relationships and deep meanings are examined through multiple choice questions and listening review questions.

(2) Oral expression

1. A1-A2: Human-computer dialogue, reading words and short sentences, and answering simple questions (such as introducing the family). The focus is on accurate pronunciation and basic vocabulary use.

2. B1-B2: Video recording or real-time dialogue, describing a given topic (such as "travel experience"), participating in situational dialogue, and examining grammatical correctness and fluency of expression.

3. C1-C2: In-depth discussion with the examiner on a professional topic (such as "the impact of artificial intelligence on society"), give a speech, and evaluate the naturalness of language organization, logical thinking and intonation. Refer to the J.TEST oral test format.

(3) Reading comprehension

1. A1-A2: simple short passages with pictures, multiple choice and matching questions to test basic comprehension.

2. B1-B2: covers narrative, expository and other genres. The length increases, with fill-in-the-blank questions and short-answer questions to test the understanding of the main idea and details.

3. C1-C2: It involves academic papers, literary works and so on. The questions include multiple choice questions and article summary questions, which examine the ability of analysis, generalization and critical thinking.

(4) Writing ability

1. A1-A2: Write simple words and sentences, describe a scene according to pictures (such as "describe a family photo"), and examine the use of basic grammar.

2. B1-B2: Write short articles (such as "My Day"), letters and other applied texts, requiring coherent language and complete content.

3. C1-C2: Writing of argumentative essays and academic reports, with clear viewpoints, sufficient evidence and clear logic (such as "The Influence of Japanese 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 Japanese grammar rules (such as particles, verb transformation) and vocabulary application ability, covering the grammar focus 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 Japanese character input (such as "ha", "hi", "fu"), provide virtual keyboard or shortcut key switch (such as Microsoft IME input method of Windows).

2. Oral test: real-time video call, scored by native Japanese 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 wrong 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: It is quantified from pronunciation (30%), fluency (30%), grammar (20%), vocabulary (10%) and content (10%), referring to the JLPT "scale score" mechanism.

3. Writing: score from three aspects: content (clear point of view, sufficient evidence), structure (clear logic) and language (rich vocabulary, correct grammar). The total score is 100 points, and 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 January, 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

1. Official cooperation: In cooperation with Japan Foundation for International Exchange and China Education Examinations Authority, we will issue internationally recognized JLPT certificates, and mark CEFR level on the transcript to enhance the authority of the test.

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 one 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 adopted 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 Japanese input, providing virtual keyboard or shortcut key switch (such as "Alt+Shift" to switch input method), ensuring that candidates can answer smoothly.

8. Exam preparation resources

1. Official test: Provide JLPT past test questions and simulated test questions, covering all types of listening, reading, writing and speaking. You can download or access the link through the platform.

2. Learning tools: It is recommended to use textbooks such as "Everyone's Japanese" and "Japanese Grammar: Intensive Practice", and combine NHK Japanese learning and APP such as Memrise for fragmented learning.

3. Oral training: Improve practical application ability through role-playing, simulated oral test by foreign teachers, etc. Correct pronunciation by referring to Forvo pronunciation dictionary, and strengthen situational dialogue by using Japanese Life Situations Oral English textbook.

Variation processing

1. Accent coverage: The listening material is mixed with Tokyo standard pronunciation and other Japanese dialects (such as Kansai dialect, Tohoku dialect), and the writing part accepts standard Japanese spelling habits.

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