“…Second, although the test is openly accessible (Table 5 in supplementary files) and is supported by more validation evidence than existing CS/FL vocabulary tests (X. Shen, 2009;Wang & Deng, 2020;J. Zhang, 2017), much more rigorous validation work is needed before further rollout.…”

“…In light of this, researchers have designed Chinese vocabulary breadth tests, with the majority focusing on CS/FL learners (X. Shen, 2009;Wang & Deng, 2020;J. Zhang, 2017) and one focusing on native Chinese speakers (Qi et al, 2022).…”

“…In contrast, most tests aimed at CS/FL learners are vocabulary proficiency tests because they measure test-takers' performance at different levels of an L2 Chinese vocabulary syllabus. However, only two tests were validated using methods from Classical Test Theory (Wang & Deng, 2020) or Item Response Theory (Qi et al, 2022).…”

In order to address the needs of the continually growing number of Chinese language learners, the present study developed and presented initial validation of a 100-item Chinese vocabulary proficiency test (CVPT) for learners of Chinese as a second/foreign language (CS/FL) using Item Response Theory among 170 CS/FL learners from Indonesia and 354 CS/FL learners from Thailand. Participants were required to translate or explain the meanings of the Chinese words using Indonesian or Thai. The results provided preliminary evidence for the construct validity of the CVPT for measuring CS/FL learners’ receptive Chinese vocabulary knowledge in terms of content, substantive, structural, generalizability, and external aspects. The translation-based CVPT was an attempt to measure CS/FL learners’ vocabulary proficiency by exploring their performance in a vocabulary translation task, potentially revealing test-takers’ high-degree vocabulary knowledge. Such a CVPT could be useful for Chinese vocabulary instruction and designing future Chinese vocabulary measurement tools.

“…It is natural for participants in cross-Strait exchange programmes to compare the outcomes of governance between two governments (Wang, 2017). The experience of visiting China gives Taiwanese students a comparison of the governance of the Taiwanese and Chinese governments, which may cause them to reassess the Chinese model's value, thereby changing their evaluation of democracy.…”

Does visiting Mainland China alter Taiwanese students’ evaluation of Taiwan’s democracy? This question greatly concerns democratic supporters globally. Therefore, 477 Taiwanese young adults participating in Mainland China exchange programmes were recruited for this study. Social contact, social identity, political socialisation and rational choice theories were introduced to formulate four hypotheses. The results indicated that, among the three dimensions constituting the democracy evaluation following their exchange to Mainland China, the Taiwanese students showed increased positive evaluations in democratic support and degree of democratisation. Furthermore, positive evaluations for satisfaction with democracy decreased. The evaluation of Taiwan’s democracy, formed by aggregating these three dimensions, indicates that this index decreased in 27.54% of students, increased in 29.24% and remained unchanged in 43.22%. After visiting Mainland China, students exhibit a tendency towards ethnically identifying as Taiwanese, or have a worse impression of China, or have greater political trust towards Taiwanese officials, or show a lower preference for the strongman rule, leading to a more favourable evaluation of Taiwan’s democracy.
