After completion of both Part 1 and Part 2, the level will be equivalent to the HKU SPACE "Certificate in Italian (Introductory)" programme. The programme is equivalent to A1 level in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).
The programme is aimed at students with no previous or little knowledge of the language. It covers a range of everyday topics and situations and includes a balance of all four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing), as well as practice on key grammar points, vocabulary and pronunciation relevant to the level. By the end of the programme, students should be able to understand and use basic everyday phrases to introduce themselves, ask and answer questions about personal details. They will also learn language to deal with everyday situations like shopping, eating out, talking about their jobs, families and interests.
