The scale of Taiwan Benchmarks for the Chinese Language (TBCL) displayed on the TOCFL transcripts along with other major language frameworks

aiwan Benchmarks for the Chinese Language (TBCL), a research result of the Eight-year Chinese as a Second Language Development Project of the Ministry of Education, is a comprehensive set of the Chinese language competence descriptors produced with special account taken of the characteristics of the Chinese language. From August 2021, its scale will be displayed on the TOCFL transcripts along with those of other major language frameworks like CEFR and ACTFL to better indicate the correspondence between them.

The design of the 2021 TOCFL is based on an integrated system of the use of linguistic corpuses and the TBCL descriptors of the lexis, phrases, and syntax system. A new version of TOCFL (TOCFL 2.0) will be officially launched in 2023.
