  中小学生汉语考试（YCT）自2010年实施以来，更加关注汉语非第一语言的学习者综合能力的培养，多元智能发展的培养。《YCT考试大纲与应考指南》是基于《YCT考试大纲（2009版）》的一次修订。本次修订继续遵循“考教结合”的理念，根据主题式教学和任务型教学的理论及方法，以交际话题和语言任务为引领，重点描述学生在每一级别的词语、语言点限定内“能做（can do）”什么，建议在实际教学中，整体培养学习者的交际能力和语言综合运用能力。   Since its implementation in 2010, the Youth Chinese Test (YCT) has paid more attention to the cultivation of comprehensive abilities and the development of multiple intelligences for learners whose Chinese is not their first language. The YCT Syllabus and Examination Guide is a revision of the YCT Syllabus (2009 Edition). The revision continues to follow the concept of 'teaching and learning together', and is based on the theories and methods of topic-based teaching and task-based teaching, using communicative topics and language tasks as a guide. It is recommended that in practice, learners develop their communicative competence and their ability to use the language as a whole.
