LEXTALE_CH: A Quick, Character-Based Proficiency Test for Mandarin Chinese

introduction

针对人群：

LEXTALE_CH:针对二语者，儿童等（bilinguals、second language learners）
current: Such questionnaires typically measure proficiency by asking participants for a
subjective self-assessment of their own language ability, operationalized in
terms of an overall rating and/or ratings by skill (i.e., listening, speaking,
reading, writing).以不同的技能进行主观评分
shortcuts：

• limit their utility in experimental research
• variation in self-assessments that does not reflect actual proficiency differences.
• Different studies use different rating scales, such that proficiency measures are often not directly comparable across studies

LEXTALE_CH:

• objective alternative to subjective self-assessments

• short amount of time (5–10 minutes).
