Abstract
I have seen a couple of international students that achieved good scores on the HSK level 5— the advanced-level Chinese proficiency test, and yet [they] can barely communicate at all in Chinese, not even daily conversation like “how was your weekend?” (A professor who teaches Chinese at a Confucius Institute in the USA, Interview, February 26, 2022)

Language Testing is a fully peer reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on language testing and assessment. It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between people working in the fields of first and second language testing and assessment. This includes researchers and practitioners in EFL and ESL testing, and assessment in child language acquisition and language pathology. In addition, special attention is focused on issues of testing theory, experimental investigations, and the following up of practical implications.
