Meenakshi centre for Foreign Languages, Gurgaon, Haryana, India successfully held its first HSK (a Chinese proficiency test) on Saturday, May 21st, 2016

On 16^th May 2016, number of students participated for the first HSK exam held by MCFL. On that day, about 1 hour before the official start of the test, the volunteer Chinese teachers of the School of Chinese Language answered various questions of examinees in earnest, and gave a systemic description of HSK test so that the examinees had more in-depth understanding of this test. The exam was conducted on time, and the examinees completed the test at different levels in Examination Room as per the schedule.

Level II, III and IV, tests were carried out in an orderly way. In the comfortable test environment, many examinees were confident that they could achieve excellent results. The students were very happy and satisfied with the test and the management of the school.

The first HSK test hosted by Meenakshi Centre for Foreign Langauges ended successfully at 3:00 pm for Level 3. With the persistent overheating of the “Mandarin Fever” worldwide, Confucius Institutes (Confucius Classrooms) are blooming everywhere in the world. The role played by the local consulate and MCFL, “Mandarin Fever” will be increasingly welcomed in Gurgaon and all over India, and that there will be more and more students registering for HSK/HSKK, the Chinese proficiency test.

We are proud to announce that Meenakshi centre for Foreign Languages will be conducting its second HSK/HSKK exam on 16^th July 2016.

A LIFE TIME EXPERIENCE

“The journey of thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Attending the ISA briefing on 28 January 2015 paved the way for learning. I realized the magnanimous challenge which waited at the door step. With nerves of steel and lion’s heart, we prepared the action plan. I was fortunate that British Council approved the action plan at one go.

Collaborative and In -house activities with partner schools from countries like United Kingdom, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka provided an invaluable learning opportunity. Having the internet became the window of the world, bringing our students globally closer.

The plethora of activities provided a platform to the students and teachers to unleash their potential. A remarkable improvement has been witnessed in the spirit of participation of students in various activities.

I got the opportunity to celebrate International Days through special assemblies and observed how the little ones metamorphosed into active, law abiding citizens and take leadership roles within the schools and wider community.

My interaction with St. Solihull School, United Kingdom was an eye opener and this culminated in our school incorporating some great ideas from them like innovative styles of teaching.

Personally, I feel blessed to avail these opportunity through the ISA to interact and above all make friends globally.
