CELI 1 (A2) case studies

CELI 1 (A2), sometimes called CELI Impatto, is the first level of the Certificato di Conoscenza della Lingua Italiana, the Italian language certificate awarded by the Università per Stranieri di Perugia. At A2 on the Common European Framework of Reference, it certifies that you can handle simple, routine exchanges: understanding short notices, messages and announcements, describing your family, home, work and daily habits in simple sentences, and managing predictable conversations such as shopping, introductions or asking for directions. It is typically taken by adult learners who have completed an elementary course, by people preparing to live or travel in Italy, and by students who need documented proof of basic Italian for school or employment. The exam tests all four skills separately - reading, writing, listening and speaking - and the oral part is a short face-to-face interview with two examiners. The CELI 1 (A2) case studies are 5 cases and about 2,054 words.
