The Duolingo English Test (DET) is rapidly gaining popularity in China, particularly among students preparing to study abroad. Since its launch on the Chinese mainland in 2020, the DET has become a convenient and affordable alternative to traditional English proficiency exams. It is now accepted by 96 of the top 100 universities in the U.S., making it an increasingly preferred option for Chinese applicants. Regelio Alvarez, Duolingo’s vice-president of business, emphasized that China is one of the company’s most important overseas markets, noting the country’s vast population of English learners. Duolingo plans to continue investing in China-specific initiatives to expand its reach. In addition to being used for university applications, the DET is also being considered for use in domestic education settings as a placement and adaptation tool.
