French Language Institute > Diplomas

 


 

The French Language Institute prepares students for the examinations of the DELF-DALF and the TEF, diplomas that are recognized the world over. These exams take place in the spring and at the end of the academic year. They are accessible to students who pay the relevant registration fees.

     
   
  • DELF A1 (Diplôme d'études en langue française) – This is the most basic or “discovery” level of the language, and develops the first notions of French. At this stage learners can handle very simple exchanges: they can speak about themselves and their immediate environment.
  • DELF A2 – The DELF A2 also aims to validate the language skills of elementary-level users, considered active social agents at this stage. Candidates are able to carry out simple, everyday linguistic tasks. They are familiar with common expressions and can make polite small talk.
  • DELF B1 – At this level, users become independent. They are now capable of taking the initiative in a conversation. They can understand and participate in a discussion, and give their personal opinion. They can handle unexpected everyday situations.
  • DELF B2 – DELF B2 users have acquired a degree of independence that allows them to construct an argument to defend their opinions, develop their ideas, and negotiate. At this level candidates can converse with ease and correct their own mistakes.
  • DALF C1 (Diplôme approfondi de langue française) – Level C1 users are autonomous. They can initiate and engage in spontaneous communication. They have a wide vocabulary and can introduce their comments with appropriate expressions. Their speech is clear, well constructed and fluent, evidencing mastery of linguistic structures.
  • DALF C2 – At this level language production is precise, appropriate and fluent. The C2 candidate is capable of performing tasks of an academic or advanced level.
     
 
  • Test d'évaluation de français - TEF (French Evaluation Test)

    The Test d'évaluation de français or TEF (French Evaluation Test) is aligned with the Common European Reference Framework and run by the Paris Chamber of Commerce. It is offered to students at the beginning and at the end of the aca demic year and allows each individual to have a personalised measure of the various skills they have acquired. Students receive their evaluation certificate at the end-of-year graduation ceremony.
