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.
In peaceful surroundings close to the town center, we welcome students to our French language school, an old Provençal farmhouse with bright, modern classrooms.
The school’s terrace and restaurant offer breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean coast. Far more than just an educational space, the school is also a great place to stay while learning French in France!
When this school reaches maximum capacity, students can take their French courses at our other school, Le Port – a small building with eight classrooms in an old fisherman’s house at the far end of the marina.
Students can stay in our Aragon residence, which is close to the town center, or withhost families selected by the school.
The Aragon residence is located a 15-minute walk from the school and offers fully renovated, comfortable studios in a quiet area close to the town centre and the beaches.
It is also home to the school’s student community, so it is a great place to meet people and speak French.
