Cils and Celi are the most widely-known Certifications of Italian as second language. The Certifications aim to evaluate the student's general knowledge of the language. There are 5 different levels. The on-line preparation for Cils and Celi exams for the different levels consists of: - simulation of a CELI or CILS examination. - additional lessons: if during the on-line lessons the student shows he/she has some problems with the Italian grammar or vocabulary the teacher will give him/her additional lessons to solve all doubts. Each simulation of the Cils and Celi examination is composed of: - reading + comprehension tests - listening + comprehension tests - writing - test about the linguistic competence (grammar and vocabulary) - oral examination: the teacher will ask the students to speak about some subjects for a few minutes.
