香港教育學院於2012年公布校內的語文政策，對學生離校時要掌握的英語及普通話水平有一定的要求。為使教院的語文教育中心能為學生提供更合適的語文支援(增潤課程及自學課程或網上學習)，以配合新高中(334)的發展，語文教育中心(CLE)普通話組於2010-2012年度獲大學資助委員會撥款贊助，發展有關語言的測試及教材。普通話方面, 中心發展了一套「專上普通話測試（Tertiary Putonghua Test, TPT）」工具、三套相關的普通話教材（初階、進階、高階），以及三套普通話自學教材（進階、高階、教師基準）。2012-2013年度CLE所有修讀普通話增潤課程的學生開始全面使用新教材。 TPT跟國家語委的普通話水平測試(PSC)高度相關(highly correlated), 但測試時間只為6-7分鐘, 為PSC的一半。2012年開始, 教育學院新生入學要接受TPT 測試, 以決定是否可以豁免修讀CLE的普通話增潤課程。 本計劃旨在發展新普通話課程（初階）網上輔助課堂互動教材及自學教材網上版: 聆聽與拼音。並初步建立TPT口語試題庫（3份TPT口語試卷）。
