The key topics covered in Italian certification exams such as CELI, CILS, and PLIDA generally focus on assessing the overall Italian language proficiency across various skills. These exams typically test:

  • Listening comprehension
  • Reading comprehension
  • Writing ability
  • Speaking skills
  • Grammar and vocabulary

The exams are structured around real-life communicative situations to evaluate practical language use at different proficiency levels (from A1 to C2 according to CEFR).

Each exam has its own specific format and focus but generally covers:

  • Understanding and producing spoken and written texts in Italian
  • Effective communication skills in everyday as well as more formal contexts
  • Proper use of Italian grammar and vocabulary

For example, CELI includes tasks such as dialogues, essays, listening exercises, and multiple-choice questions, all designed to measure communicative competence in Italian in various social and practical contexts. PLIDA and CILS have similar topic coverage but might vary slightly in exam organization and types of tasks.

In summary, these certifications cover the core language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking, integrated with practical grammar and vocabulary knowledge applied in real-world contexts. 1, 2
