Who is this book for?
Not for beginners, and not for casual readers. It’s for two kinds of people: Chinese teachers currently teaching HSK 6, and self-studiers who have reached level 6 and want someone to spell out exactly how to work through each lesson properly.
What problem does it solve?
At HSK 6, the hard part isn‘t the language points themselves — it’s turning a long text, a pile of advanced vocabulary, and real exam focus points into classroom steps that students can actually follow. This book does exactly that: for each lesson, it first states the instructional objectives, then walks through the teaching steps one by one, adds classroom activity suggestions and guidance on handling the exercises, and closes with an “afterword” that helps you look back and check whether the key points of the lesson actually landed. All 20 lessons, none skipped.-15
It also targets the place where HSK 6 learners most often get stuck: new words built from characters they’ve already “learned.” Each lesson picks one Chinese character and teaches the form–sound–meaning relationship in depth, with plenty of examples and exercises so students understand each character in context rather than memorizing isolated vocabulary lists.-15
Why trust it?
This series is authorized by Hanban and developed jointly by Beijing Language and Culture University Press and Chinese Testing International (CTI). It uses past HSK test papers as its primary source and matches the HSK exam in content, form, and levels — the design philosophy is “combining testing and teaching, and promoting learning and teaching by testing”. The author, Professor Jiang Liping, is a postgraduate tutor at Beijing Language and Culture University whose research focuses on teaching Chinese as a foreign language, teaching methodology, and textbook study, with lecturing experience in Japan, the US, Thailand, Hong Kong, and beyond. What you‘re getting is not a collection of teaching tips — it’s an official companion teacher‘s book backed by exam alignment and teaching methodology.-15
How to get the most out of it?
Use it alongside the HSK Standard Course 6A student’s book, budgeting 6–8 class hours per lesson. If you‘re a self-studier without a real classroom, treat the “teaching steps” as your study workflow: check the objectives first, then follow the steps through the text, do the exercises, review the answer guidance, and finish with the afterword as a self-check. It plays the role of an experienced teacher telling you where to put your next foot
