ALL COURSES
Italian Language Proficiency Levels
The Italian language follows the assessment scheme of the European Framework of Languages (CEFR) which divides the knowledge of the language into six levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) and here in Egypt, All’italiana Institute follows the same method of learning, teaching, and assessing provided from (CEFR). Just to make it easier and more suitable for the students we have divided each Level into 2 levels (with an evaluation test after both levels) to keep track of the progress of the students. Accordingly, these six levels become 12 levels (A1-1, A1-2, A2-1, A2-2, B1-1, B1-2, B2-1, B2-2, C1-1, C1-2, C2-1, C2-2).
