由駐馬來西亞臺北經濟文化辦事處教育組主辦、吉隆坡臺灣學校協辦之「2022年馬來西亞華語文能力測驗」（簡稱華測），將於本年5月21日（星期六）假吉隆坡臺灣學校舉行，即日起開放線上報名，歡迎各級學生及各界民眾踴躍報考。
駐馬教育組與吉隆坡臺灣學校於3月1日召開華語文能力測驗籌備會議，由駐馬教育組張佳琳組長及吉隆坡臺灣學校鄭雅芬校長共同主持，推介華測。本梯次華測報名期限自3月1日開始至4月10日截止。
張佳琳表示，華測係對應歐洲共同語文參考架構(CEFR)及美國外語教學協會指標（ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines）國際通用的標準化測驗，目前臺灣多所大專院校或系所均採用華測作為申請入學條件或鑑定華語能力之標準，部分系所採認華測為畢業門檻，華測也是申請政府獎學金之參考標準、僑外生留臺工作評點加分項目之一。華測考試題目採用多元日常生活情境題材，例如生活對話、廣告、演講、信件、天氣預報等不同領域主題，可準確地對考生的真實語文能力進行評估。因此，她也鼓勵目前於國際學校、語言中心以及補習中心研習華語的學員踴躍報考，藉以測試自身華語能力水平，並檢核華語學習成果。
吉隆坡臺灣學校鄭雅芬校長表示，本次華測施測內容為聽力和閱讀二種，考生可選擇正體或簡體兩種版本應考。通過華測者將獲得臺灣教育部頒發之精美證書。歡迎不論是想要瞭解自己華語程度，或是想要在使用華語的國家求學、工作或進行貿易之人士報名參加。
本次華測採用線上報名方式，報名網址為 https://tocfl.sc-top.org.tw/zoom/，為鼓勵馬來西亞學習華語風氣，10人以上團體報名每人可享9折優惠，擬享此優惠之學校或教育機構單位負責人請洽駐馬來西亞教育組。

To encourage the learning of Mandarin (Huayu) in Malaysia, the Education Division of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Malaysia is organizing the 2022 Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL) in Malaysia which will be held in Chinese Taipei School (Kuala Lumpur) on 21 May 2022 (Saturday). Online registration for TOCFL will be opened from 1st March till 10th April 2022.
Charlin Chang, the Education Director of TECO mentioned that the TOCFL acts as a useful and standardized assessment tool for Huayu proficiency levels which is in corresponding with CEFR (The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) and ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) Proficiency Guidelines. Many undergraduate and graduate programs offered by universities in Taiwan require a TOCFL certificate for admission or for evaluation of an applicant’s Chinese proficiency. The TOCFL certificate can serve as proof of Chinese proficiency for applying for a Taiwan Scholarship and obtaining bonus points under the new appraisal system for Overseas Chinese and international students who want to remain in Taiwan to work.
“The TOCFL can be used to reflect the candidates’ real-life Mandarin skill as the content of the test includes daily conversations, advertisements, letters, and other everyday life communicative materials.” said Charlin Chang. She also encourages students who are currently learning Mandarin in international schools, language centers, and tuition centers to sit TOCFL in order to assess their Mandarin proficiency level.
Cheng Ya Fen, Principal of the Chinese Taipei School (Kuala Lumpur) added that there are three bands available for 2022 TOCFL in Malaysia, which are Band A, Band B, and Band C, and there are both simplified and traditional Mandarin test papers available for each band. Candidates who pass the test will receive the certificate from the Ministry of Education, Taiwan which can be used as a reference document of Chinese Language Proficiency Level for universities applications or job hunting.
Candidate shall register via the online registration form: https://tocfl.sc-top.org.tw/zoom/. For group registration with 10 individuals and above, each individual will enjoy 10% discount.
Meanwhile, the Education Division encourages Malaysian students to grasp the opportunity to apply for the Taiwan Scholarship to further studies in Taiwan. Three scholarship programs available now are MOE Taiwan Scholarship, MOE Huayu Enrichment Scholarship (HES), and the Taiwan International Cooperation and Development Fund (ICDF) Scholarship Program. Individuals who are interested are welcome to apply and submit their applications before the deadline.
