CIPLE A2 Exam case studies

CIPLE - the Certificado Inicial de Português Língua Estrangeira - is one of the Portuguese-language examinations offered by CAPLE, the Centro de Avaliação e Certificação de Português Língua Estrangeira, which operates from the Faculdade de Letras of the Universidade de Lisboa (caple.letras.ulisboa.pt). It is the initial certificate in CAPLE's exam suite and is intended for people who do not have Portuguese as a first language and who want documented proof of their competence for educational, professional or other purposes. CAPLE lists both the open version, CIPLE, and a school version, CIPLE-e, aimed at candidates in a school setting. Because it is an entry-level certificate, preparation should build all four skill areas - reading, writing, listening, and spoken expression and interaction - rather than grammar drills alone. Topics on this exam: Reading comprehension, Written expression, Listening comprehension, and Oral expression and interaction. The CIPLE A2 Exam case studies are 5 cases and about 2,046 words.
