The DELF is made up of general exam papers that assess
CEFRL competencies, which have been the basis for all our syllabuses since 2001.
As such, students enrolled for the DELF are placed in classes that are open to students who are not studying for the exam. However, they regularly practice the written and oral papers of the DELF. The teaching department issues them with a written competency workbook. Their teacher corrects these regularly in order to track and check student progress.
This course includes intensive work in the form of regular mock exams used to assess progress in the four competences of the CEFRL (listening and reading comprehension, spoken and written production).
Tuesday to Friday from 2 to 4 p.m.
For those who choose the 30-class course, in the afternoon, classes focus primarily on
spoken production
(guided discussion, role-play, interactive activities, expressing a point of view based on starter text etc.) and
listening comprehension
(messages, reports, radio clips etc.).
Students are also familiarized with French culture and civilization in a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to discussion and optimizes speaking.
