Ilà Certificate: Level A2 Syllabus
This Syllabus should not be taken as a requirement for the attainment of CEFR A2 Level. The heterogeneity of those who sit the Ilà examination is such that vocabulary and linguistic functions have a different weight to the lives and needs of different people. The different age also plays a crucial role. Young people have different interests compared to adults, have a limited life experience and less responsibility. They are also at different stages of cognitive development. These differences profoundly affect the use of language. Intercultural awareness is important too.
People at Level A2 are aware at different stages of the cultural difference. For example, those who add a Level A2 competence in a minor language to the knowledge of other languages are in a different position with respect to those who learn a foreign language for the first time.
