Knowing the nature of the test before you take it will facilitate optimal preparation”
Structure of the A1 level Italian exam
It consists of 4 parts:
Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing
The total duration of the exam is 90 to 135 minutes, with the first three parts taking place one after the other (1st Listening, 2nd Writing, 3rd Reading). There will be a minimum of 20 minutes of rest between the first three parts and the 4th part (Speaking), which can be done on the same day, or on a different day, with a maximum limit of 7 days after the other block has been completed.
Listening (Duration: 30-40 minutes)
Listening. It consists of 2-4 exercises, each of which is based on an audio recording that can be a monologue or a conversation between 2 or more people. Exercises include multiple response, sentence completion, completion of charts, graphs or diagrams, and short answers in one or two sentences.
Example reading comprehension task
Identify the main situation and/or idea. Text type: series of five monologues or short independent dialogues, e.g., advertisements, messages, short conversations, etc. Task type: the student must choose the correct graphic from the three options presented.
Reading (Duration: 30-40 minutes)
It consists of 40 questions grouped in 3 sections. Each text is 100-150 words long and several questions are asked about it. The texts are basic and fictional, and have been specially designed for the test. The type of questions, as in the oral part, vary widely: multiple choice, completing tables, graphs or diagrams, or locating information in the text.
Example of reading comprehension
Find predictable factual information in texts such as signs, advertisements, schedules, menus with some visual support. Type of text: signs, advertisements, etc., on an everyday topic with visual support. Type of task: multiple choice based on short texts that focus on certain information. The correct answer must be chosen.
Writing (Duration: 30-40 minutes)
This part consists of two short essay exercises between 30-60 words. Usually a piece of information is presented very briefly (a couple of lines), followed by a statement about it, and then the candidate is asked to explain whether they agree or disagree with the statement, briefly stating the necessary arguments.
Speaking (Duration: 10-15 minutes)
In this last part, a conversation is held with an examiner, and it is designed to be as realistic as possible. It is divided into 2 subsections. In the first, the candidate responds to personal, family and/or everyday questions. In the second, the examiner and the candidate hold a basic conversation on a specific topic, where oral interaction and discussion skills are assessed. The entire speaking part is recorded for later review purposes.
CEFR A1 Italian Exam
Italy is a total reference, both for tourism and the arts as well as for foreign languages, as its language is the sixth most spoken in all of Europe. Studying Italian is, therefore, an excellent option to access unique opportunities and ensure professional growth, but it is not enough just to learn it, it is essential to be able to certify the skills as an Italian speaker, even at a basic level. With this in mind, TECH Global University offers the CEFR A1 Italian Exam, an evaluation proposal of unparalleled quality, structured under the parameters of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). If you know how to recognize names, words and very basic phrases that appear on signs, write short and simple postcards, introduce yourself and use simple greetings and farewell expressions or understand questions and instructions pronounced slowly and carefully, then you cannot miss the opportunity to get certified with one of the world's largest language schools: TECH, the perfect ally to achieve your goals.
