HSK Standard Course 6B Teacher’s Book — Official Hanban-Authorized Guide with 20 Complete Lesson Plans

What this book actually is

This is the teacher‘s guide that accompanies the HSK Standard Course 6B textbook. It is officially authorized by Hanban and jointly developed by Beijing Language and Culture University Press and Chinese Testing International (CTI), using actual HSK test materials as its source. The content, format, and level align directly with the HSK exam. Students use the textbook and workbook; teachers use this book. Three books, three distinct roles.-18

The problem it solves

Teaching HSK 6 is demanding: long texts, dense language points, and advanced learners. Prep work can eat your week. This guide is built around one goal — reducing the teacher’s workload — and it does that through four concrete moves:

• Extracts the essentials: vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, characters, and functions for each lesson are pulled out and laid out clearly, so you don‘t have to dig through the textbook yourself.-18

• Breaks down the hard parts: points that typically trip students up are analyzed, expanded, and flagged, with guidance on how to explain them clearly.-18

• Maps the teaching flow: the content is reorganized around actual classroom procedure, giving you workable instructional moves rather than abstract theory.-18

• Adds ready-to-use material: collocations, example sentences, discussion questions, activities, and teaching aids are supplied, extending what you can do in class without hunting for extra resources.-18

Who it’s for — and who it isn‘t

✅ For: Chinese teachers currently using the HSK Standard Course 6B textbook, Confucius Institute instructors, language schools, and self-directed learners who want a structured teaching reference.-18

❌ Not for: Students preparing for HSK 6 on their own who need the textbook and workbook. This is written from the teacher’s perspective, not the learner‘s. If you are the student, buy the textbook and workbook first.

Is the author credible?

Jiang Liping is a professor and postgraduate supervisor at Beijing Language and Culture University, specializing in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, methodology, and textbook research. Her published works include monographs on TCSOL theory and practical teaching guides, and she has taught and lectured in Japan, the United States, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Beijing Language and Culture University Press is one of the most established publishers in Chinese-language teaching materials, and this series is Hanban-authorized and co-developed with CTI. For overseas Chinese teachers, this is a purpose-built resource, not a generic supplement.-18

Bottom line: If you already have the HSK 6B textbook and you’re teaching the course, this book is your prep backbone. If you don‘t have the textbook yet, add that to your cart first — then bring this guide along with it.
