Praxis Chinese (Mandarin): World Language case studies

The Praxis Chinese (Mandarin): World Language exam is one of the subject assessments used by states and educator-preparation programs as part of the licensure process for teachers of Mandarin. It is intended for candidates who already have solid command of the language and want to demonstrate that they can teach it, so it tests the language and culture at a professional level rather than introductory vocabulary. The test is computer-delivered and mixes selected-response items with constructed-response tasks, including writing and speaking that are recorded and scored by trained raters. Content is organized into interpretive listening, interpretive reading, interpersonal and presentational writing, interpersonal and presentational speaking, language structures and comparisons, and cultural knowledge and connections. The Praxis Chinese (Mandarin): World Language case studies are 5 cases and about 1,953 words.
