telc Español A2∙B1 Escuela

The examination consists of a written and an oral part. Dual level examinations assess language proficiency at two levels. Therefore, there are tasks at both CEFR levels in all parts. Test takers will receive a certificate of either the lower or higher CEFR level. 

The test takers complete tasks in all skills. The receptive part consists of reading, listening and language elements. Task types include multiple-choice or matching tasks. In the productive part, writing and speaking, the test takers respond to input and express themselves in writing or orally. In the oral examination, the focus is on direct exchange between the test takers. The examination topics and vocabulary are geared to the interests of secondary school students. 

This examination is available as a hybrid and paper-based exam. It can NOT be taken as a partial examination. 

In the mock examination, you will find more details about the exam, including a complete test with solutions, which can be used to prepare at home or in class. You will learn how the examination is carried out and how the written and oral performances are assessed.

Learners at A2 level can 

• understand and use common expressions. 

• communicate in simple, routine situations involving a direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters.  

• describe their background and education, as well as matters related to immediate needs.   

Learners at B1 level can 

• communicate easily and coherently in everyday life, at work and when travelling. 

• write or speak about a range of topics in their own area of interest. 

• participate in conversations about family, hobbies, work and current events, and can report on experiences, describe goals and justify opinions.
