Preparatory Course for Celpe-Bras
The objective of the Distance Preparatory Course Celpe-Bras, designed by professors Graça Gesteira, is to prepare the candidate for the communicative exam through simulations (activities which simulate the tasks of the exam).
Duration of the Course
We arrange the Celpe-Bras course by goals. In each course, 10 simulations will take place. We plan to complete one simulation per week, at least. New simulations will be posted only after the candidate has produced his texts and the professor has returned them with corrections.
All of the text samples necessary for the exam are carefully studied in class, very much like the interpretation of the texts and tasks on the Celpe.
Only students at the Intermediate level of proficiency can participate in the course. We – at BrazilLink – Portuguese Language School group students according to their level of knowledge. We don´t put students from different levels in the same class.
